About My Family

I am unmarried. I was born in Louisiana, but I grew up for most of my life in northwest Chicago, which is where my home church is located along with my beloved parents.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC-endorsed United States Navy Chaplain. My first tour of duty was in San Diego, California, on the USS Tripoli (LHA-7) from August 2021 to July 2023. I then went on to serve as a Staff Chaplain at the Coast Guard Academy from August 2023 to December 2025.

I am currently on orders to the 2nd Marine Division in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as the Battalion Chaplain for the 2nd Combat Engineer Battalion.

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 are established by the using agency and the Chaplains Commission, SBC. These qualification requirements vary according to the type of chaplaincy involved but all are expected to meet a high level of ministerial competence.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people. Pray for the unity of the church in truth and Spirit, coming together in both doctrine and practice. Pray for grace and peace among the brothers and sisters, to have faith, love, and hope in all the days of our lives.

There are many opportunities to support the chaplaincy and the ministry of the gospel for our brothers and sisters serving in the military. Connect with me at any time!
