About
I am an ordained nondenominational minister and a full-time hospice chaplain along the Alabama Gulf Coast. This 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 as a part-time weekend chaplain) and prior to that I served 12-years as the pastor of CrossHope Chapel, a nondenominational church in Mobile, Alabama.
In addition to my last pastorate with CrossHope Chapel, I have served as pastor for Adventist denomination church districts of two congregations 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. I have also been involved in ministry with Southern Baptist and Calvary Chapel. I hold to the Bible as the ultimate standard of truth, and you can read more about my faith at my Christian Testimony page and my Statement of Faith page.
I’ve written the books Dying and Grieving: What Loved Ones Can Expect, Hope thru Scripture, Prayer is the Answer, and Simple Wedding Ceremony Planning Guide, which you can learn more about at the Books page.
