About

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

This coastal area is also 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.

As a hospice chaplain with a background as a trauma hospital chaplain, this website is where I share on the topics of dying, grieving, and biblical faith.

I’ve served as a hospital chaplain at Providence Hospital in Mobile, Alabama, a trauma hospital chaplain at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida, and most recently I served 12-years as the pastor of CrossHope Chapel, a nondenominational church in West Mobile, Alabama.

My educational background includes degrees in religion and pastoral ministry from Southern Adventist University. Having served as a church 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). I have since held affiliation with the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, Calvary Chapel, and now independent nondenominational ministry.

Today, I am an advocate for simple expressions of nondenominational church fellowship, a personal relationship of faith in Jesus Christ, 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.
