About My Family

Katie and I have been married since 2001. We have a 11-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy. God has deeply blessed our marriage and graced us with joy in our children.

Katie is a graduate from Dallas Baptist University and is now a professional brand strategist while juggling being a full-time mom. She enjoys sharing the gospel daily with our children and guiding them to develop as healthy children and inspiring them to learn about the world around them from a Bible-centered worldview.

We live in a small, quiet neighborhood in Pennington, N.J.

About My Ministry

I love the calling God has placed on our lives! Finding peace and purpose by serving the men and women volunteers of the sea services has been the richest ministry in which I have ever taken part. I have been command chaplain on LPD-23, NASC, deployed with the Marines of VMM-163(REIN), group chaplain with MESG1 & EODGRU1 (dual hat) and Naval Base Coronado Chapel.

I am currently enrolled for a Th.M. at Princeton Theological Seminary.

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary prepared me to minister in an environment of beliefs, religions and cultures that do not match up with the Bible. I see chaplaincy as a missionary ministry; we identify the people group, learn their language, wear what they wear, go where they go and assimilate into their culture without compromising the cross of Christ.

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 open hearts among the people to whom I minister, particularly among Sailors, Marines and Guardians. Pray for people to come to a relationship with God. Pray for the chaplains who shepherd with a true heart.

Participate

Commit to long-term prayer support. Send resources that support a chaplain’s ministry context. Pray for chaplains and their families.
NAMB does not provide compensation for SBC endorsed chaplains. However, a general fund is available to receive donations in support of the ministry and pastoral care to SBC endorsed chaplains. To donate, please visit Support Chaplaincy (missionaries.namb.net/projects/full/chaplaincy).
