Your support allows me to pour into students on campus like never before bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the doorstep of Troy University!

Thank you for partnering with me and this mission! My campus and I are directly blessed by your warm generosity!

My Story

As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all students to Christ. Jesus has transformed my life and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel.

I first recognized Jesus inviting me into a deeper relationship my first summer in college through a FOCUS program called Summer Projects. In adoration during the Father’s House Retreat I heard him clearly reach out to me saying “This is my son, whom I’m well pleased with”. This permission to be a son of the living God changed the outlook of my life through my college years. I entered into FOCUS life on campus the following fall through Bible Study and discipleship while developing a prayer life, attending daily Mass, and frequenting the sacraments at our wonderful parish of St. Martin of Tours.

God has blessed me with the opportunity to give back to Troy University serving our students before I graduate in December and placed at my next campus. This unique positioning is something I look forward to being able to fulfill as both student and missionary for the next semester!

For the last 4 years, I have been looking forward to the opportunity to being able to serve with FOCUS. The entirety of the apostolate is an extension of the familial life God invites us into as His children. I hope that during these next years I will be able to give back to my students the beautiful gift the Lord has given me through FOCUS and come to know the Lord in a deeper manner.

Your Impact

Before I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and material support of mission partners to help me through this mission. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you.
