About My Family
I was born and raised in Homer, Louisiana. I’m married with two grown children.
I have retired from the family business, which has given me time to do some other things in my life. I became a Christian more than 50 years ago. My mother was instrumental in leading me to Christ, but both my parents were Christians. They made me the person I am today. I thank God for them all the time.

About My Ministry
I am an SBC-endorsed chaplain with the Claiborne Parish Fire District #4 (2010) and a disaster relief chaplain with the Louisiana Baptist State Convention (2008). Additionally, I have been the local Justice of the Peace since 2019.
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, healthcare settings, correctional facilities, 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.
