About

This site is where I blog on the topics of dying, grieving, and biblical faith as an ordained nondenominational minister and a full-time hospice chaplain.

Home is along the Gulf Coast of Baldwin County, Alabama, where I once served as a beach wedding officiant for over 5000 beach ceremonies, for which I was featured on Fox News and ABC Good Morning America in 2010.

Before becoming a hospice chaplain I served as a full-time trauma hospital chaplain in nearby Pensacola, Florida and prior to that I served 12-years as the full-time pastor of CrossHope Chapel, a nondenominational church in Mobile, Alabama.

In addition, I have served as pastor for the Seventh-day Adventist denomination in congregational districts in South Carolina (Rock Hill – York and Aiken – North Augusta) and in Northeast Alabama (Fort Payne – Guntersville).

My educational background includes degrees in religion and pastoral ministry from Southern Adventist University. Since 2001 I have held affiliation with the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions and with Calvary Chapel churches.

I am an advocate for simple expressions of church, a personal relationship of faith, and hold to the Bible as the ultimate standard of truth. You can read more about my faith at my Christian Testimony page and my Statement of Faith page.
