About My Family
Being raised in a Christian home, the son and grandson of a pastor, I came to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at an early age. Through active involvement in the church as well as volunteer service at a Baptist camp, I began to sense God's call into pastoral ministry, but I resisted it and began a career in the computer field.
God blessed me and used me as a deacon and teacher in my home church, First Baptist, Longwood, Fla. It was here that I met my future bride, Annette Cobb, who has been my wife for more than 30 years.

About My Ministry
Currently, I pastor Family Life Fellowship in Lake Hamilton, Fla., and serve as a chaplain with BayCare at Bartow Regional Medical Center and Winter Haven Hospital, Fla. I surrendered to God's call, leaving the computer field for Southern Seminary and ultimately to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. I am committed to loving and serving others in His name for His glory.
SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a vital frontline ministry and extension of the local church. Chaplains reach the lost among the thousands of men and women in the U.S. Armed Forces, correctional facilities, healthcare settings, public safety, disaster relief sites and corporate environments. SBC Chaplains care for the broken, offer hope to the hopeless and advance the gospel of Jesus Christ in hard to reach places.
The qualifications expected of a Southern Baptist applying for endorsement as a chaplain or counselor are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy or counseling ministry involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.
