About Me

A Life Shaped by Faith, Service & Purpose

I'm a retired Army Chaplain, ordained pastor, Bible teacher, and author living in Knoxville, Tennessee with my wife Robin. My journey to faith wasn't planned — it was forged in crisis. When our infant son nearly died, I surrendered my life to Christ and never looked back. That moment changed everything.

I went on to earn degrees from William Jewel College, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (M.R.E. and M.Div.), Pittsburg State University (M.A. in Communications), and the U.S. Army War College (M.S.S.). I served 25 years as an Army Chaplain, retiring in 2008 as a Colonel — one of only a few Reserve Chaplains to attend the resident Army War College. I've pastored churches in Missouri, South Carolina, and Bolivia, South America, and had the privilege of serving as a participating translator of the Modern English Bible.

In 2020, I was diagnosed with a severe form of cancer and given two years to live. By the grace of God, I am completely cancer free. That experience deepened my urgency to write — to get God's truth into the hands of people who need it. Every book I write is born from that conviction.

  • Chaplain (Colonel), U.S. Army — Retired
  • Author of 10 books on Christian faith & living
  • Participating translator, Modern English Bible
  • Ordained, Intl. Church of the Foursquare Gospel
  • FORSCOM Reserve Chaplain of the Year, 1994
