About Me

I am an ordained nondenominational minister and a full-time hospice chaplain along the Gulf Coast of Alabama.

My 15-minutes of fame came when I served as a beach wedding officiant for over 5000 beach ceremonies, for which I was featured on Fox News’ Hannity’s America and ABC Good Morning America in 2010.

In addition to my current role as a hospice chaplain I have served as a hospital chaplain and a church pastor. My most recent pastorate was with CrossHope Chapel, a nondenominational church in West Mobile, Alabama where I served as pastor for 12-years. Previously I served as pastor for congregations in Rock Hill and Aiken, South Carolina and Guntersville, Alabama.

My educational background includes degrees in religion and pastoral ministry from Southern Adventist University. My Clinical Pastoral Education (chaplaincy education) has been with Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, Florida and Ascension St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.

I am an advocate for simple expressions of nondenominational church fellowship, a personal relationship of faith in Jesus Christ, and the Bible as the ultimate standard of truth for our lives.
