Inspirational Bible Verse: John 10:10: "I have come that you might have life and life to the full."
Faith Journey: I am the oldest of four children and my parents raised us with a love for Christ and participation in the faith. We received our Sacraments in the Catholic Church and also had rich experiences in other Christian Church’s (going to Vacation Bible School and Church camps). After graduating from a Catholic High School I came to Franciscan University where I met people who loved Jesus Christ and the Church and I was inspired to go deeper in my faith. I had a wonderful experience studying in Austria where I began to think about being a Priest. After serving for a year, doing retreat ministry for youth with the National Evangelization Teams (NET) I entered the Franciscans, Third Order Regular (T.O.R.) I have been a Friar for 20 years and a Friar Priest for 13 years. I have served in University Campus Ministry, Vocations Ministry and Formation Ministry (training our Men to be Franciscans). I am happy to be back at FUS serving as Vice President of Franciscan Life.
