About My Family
I married my high-school sweetheart, Ashley, in May 2005. We have four children. I work full time at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and am a founding member of Mercy Church in Charlotte, N.C. I am motivated by the gospel and pray daily that my life will be used to reach the lost, disciple the found and help suffering people. That heart is what led me to join the Air Force as a Reserve chaplain.
My hobbies include hiking, writing, reading, traveling and spending time with my family.

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.
