About

I am an ordained minister and a full-time hospice chaplain along the upper Gulf Coast in South Alabama.

This area is also where I’ve once served as a Beach Wedding Officiant of 5000+ beach ceremonies, having been 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 (I still serve on staff one or two weekends a month) 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 Adventist denomination in two 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.
