About My Family
I entered active duty in the Army in 1987 as an infantryman. After serving four years, I transferred to the National Guard. I spent about 16 years as an enlisted Soldier.
I met my wife when we were both on active duty at Ft. Campbell, Ky. We have successively moved from Alabama to Tennessee (for college), to Kentucky (for seminary), to Indiana (for work), and are now in Ohio, where I pastor a church.

About My Ministry
I serve full-time as a pastor and am an SBC-endorsed traditional Soldier/chaplain in the Indiana National Guard. I enjoy chaplaincy ministry and find it helps me keep perspective on life outside the “church bubble.”
I am the SBC-endorsed state/JFHQ chaplain for the Indiana National Guard.

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.
