Why this page exists
Chaplaincy has no single licensing body, so credentials in this field are harder to read than in medicine or law. This page is here so agencies, seminaries, and conference committees can verify what is claimed elsewhere on this site without having to ask.
For press use, the media kit carries the approved biography, headshots, and titles.
Bring four decades of frontline ministry to your next conversation.
