About My Family
I have been married since 2007. My wife and I have a daughter. We enjoy the outdoors as a family and are always looking for ways to enjoy God’s creation. We love to fish and soak up the sun.
About My Ministry

I currently serve as the chaplain for the men and women of the Gwinnett County Schools Police Department, where I also serve as a full-time police officer.

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.
