About My Family
I was born and raised in Lexington, Ky. I became a Christian in 2001 immediately upon reading James 2:19, which awakened my need for faith in Jesus Christ.
I am husband to Kelsey and father to Eleanor, Alice, Peter and Vera. I enjoy family time, an eclectic variety of music, military wristwatch design, books, lacing up my Nike Free’s for a run, Premier League Soccer and sports of all kinds.

About My Ministry
I serve as the senior pastor of Galveston County Church in Hitchcock, Texas. I also serve as a chaplain for the 123rd Marine Unit (1st Battalion, 23rd Regiment) Reserve in Houston, Texas. I am a LT/03 rank commissioned officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
My family and I relocated from Austin, Texas, to Galveston County, Texas, in December 2021. I have served on staff in local church ministry since 2009. I completed my Bachelor of Science from the University of Kentucky in 2010. During seminary training, I completed a pastoral residency in Washington, D.C., at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in 2013. I completed my M.Div. from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2015.

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.
