I serve at the University of Toledo, Ohio!

I will be on Team Toledo as a part-time missionary until I finish my Mechanical Engineering Degree at UT.

Upon graduation this December… I will work as a Full-Time Missionary, but on a different campus!

I look forward to finding out where the Lord sends me to serve at next!

But until then I am extremely excited to spend my last semester as a student at my own college sharing the Gospel with and investing in my fellow Rockets!

(Team Toledo… Anna, Liv, Ben, Tommy, and Myself!)

I’ve known about Jesus my whole life. But for too long, my faith was just:

It’s just what we do as a family…
Going to church is only and obligation…
Being Christian is how you be a “better person.”

And it wasn’t much more than that.

Going through the motions of my Catholic faith eventually left me burnt out… The faith didn’t mean much to me.

Because of that, I had no idea that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ was really possible until I got to college.

As a freshman at the University of Toledo, I was approached by someone I did not know after Sunday Mass, and he invited me to a Bible study.

He was a Mechanical Engineering student, just like me, so naturally, I looked up to him.

Hesitantly, I showed up, and I saw that the Bible study was full of upperclassmen engineering students…

People I naturally looked up to.

But the most shocking part was that they actually wanted to be there.

No one was telling them they had to go. They weren’t filling a requirement.

They were there because they deeply desired to know Jesus.

Through them, I found that Jesus desired a relationship with me simply because He loved me.

From that point on, Jesus continually revealed Himself to me through His Church, His Word, and His people…

I thought my career path was set, but God was quietly working in my heart, preparing me to say YES to becoming a full-time FOCUS missionary.

I said yes because…

I want to be that person who tells a student that Jesus desires have a personal relationship with them.

I want to be that person who wakes up that Catholic who is going through the motions… just as I was.

I want to be that person who challenges young men to rise up, claim their identities as Sons of God, and step into the greatness they were created for.

I want to help young men build the exact same kind of brotherhood that changed my life.

(My first disciples at Toledo… Josh, Dillon, and Brandon. My brotherhood & inspiration for mission!)

With FOCUS I will meet students where they are and call them higher.

I will show them that they were made for something more.

I will show them that the Savior of this world wants to know them personally, and He longs for them to follow Him.

“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” – St. Augustine of Hippo

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely completely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners. I am fundraising my entire salary so I can be radically available to the students on campus.

By joining my team, you will hold a critical role in this work. Not only will students’ lives be transformed through your generosity, but my hope is that you will also be drawn deeper into your own relationship with God as we journey together.

I would be honored to share this mission with you. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you, or call/text me directly at (419)-302-8760 so we can schedule an appointment!
