About My Family
I’ve been married to my best friend for 37 years. I have two sons, two daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren. I recently retired from American Airlines after working almost 30 years as a mechanic.
About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed Southern Baptist Disaster Relief chaplain with the Oklahoma Baptists. My wife serves with me as a disaster relief chaplain. Since retiring, my wife and I spent nine weeks in Brazil this past summer. We built nine chapels across the country. We did VBS, had clinics where we gave out reading glasses, and performed blood pressure and glucose checks.
I am a deacon at my church. I served as a police chaplain for five years from 2015–2020. I was a chaplain at the Tulsa state fair for 8 years, and I taught a Bible study at work for eight years.

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.
