About My Ministry
I am Command Chaplain of Headquarters Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) at Hurlburt Field, Fla. AFSOC is the Air Force (AF) component of U.S. Special Operations Command and provides AF special operations forces for global deployment and assignment to unified combatant commanders. As a member of the command’s special staff, I serve as senior advisor to the AFSOC Commander for all religious matters. Moreover, I am responsible for implementing Chaplain Corps guidance and providing functional oversight of all Chaplain Corps personnel within AFSOC.
I also serve as the senior pastor for approximately 20,000 active-duty, Reserve, Air National Guard and civilian professionals. As members of the Air Force Chaplain Corps Council, my colleagues and I advise the Chief of Chaplains on policies and programs affecting the Air Force.

SBC Chaplaincy
Chaplaincy is a "frontline" ministry that is vital to the 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.
