About My Family

I am married to Dana, my wife of 36 years. She is a nurse practitioner, who is practicing in home health here in Kentucky.

Our daughter, Clara, lives in Indianapolis with her husband, Tim, and their daughter, Amara. Our son, Peter, lives in Corpus Christi with his wife, Emily, and their two boys, Isaac and Joshua.

About My Ministry

I am an SBC-endorsed Association for Clinical Pastoral Education (ACPE) certified educator and an adjunct professor of chaplaincy and theology. My full time at ministry work involved clinical education and spiritual care development of chaplains at St. Elizabeth Healthcare in Edgewood, Ky.

I also support the mission services directorate by integrating the system’s vision for the care of people through education and community engagement. I teach several chaplaincy classes and am a Ph.D. mentor for Columbia Biblical Seminary, Columbia International University.

Finally, I serve on the ACPE Certification Commission, where I am responsible for as many as 10 student educators’ process toward certification.

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 their institution 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.

Pray

Pray for boldness to share the gospel and open hearts among the people to whom I minister. Pray people will come to saving faith in Jesus. Pray more will become missionaries and chaplains.
