Where I serve

Together with my fiance, Mary Grace, I serve at The Ohio State University. Three years later in Columbus and I love being a Buckeye more than ever. As the Team Director, I oversee 8 other missionaries – meaning on top of leading bible studies and mentoring young men at Ohio State, I manage and coach my teammates to reach souls for Jesus Christ and His Church.

My Story

Since encountering the Lord at age 19, I have desired to know Christ Jesus and make Him known. From mission trips, to youth ministry, to diocesan fundraising, I have been on quite the journey to encounter what Jesus wants for my life. All of these experiences have led me to FOCUS.

Now, my story looks like this: an aging twenty-nine-year-old washed up college athlete – working to share the life-saving message of Jesus Christ with young men at OSU. The best part – I get to do this alongside my future bride.

Mary Grace and I both serve students involved in Greek-life at OSU, leading bible studies in fraternities and sororities and helping train young people to do the same. IMG 5217

Your Impact

The best part: my YES can also be your YES.

And supporting me is supporting my future family.

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. Thank you for your openness to supporting this mission.
