“No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

– John 15:13

Where I serve

The Lord has called me to serve as an Associate Regional Director for the Pacific Northwest!

This is my fourth year as a missionary with FOCUS (and at Boise State!), but the first serving in the Associate Regional Director role. As an Associate Regional Director, I am in a player-coach role as a missionary. I am still serving as the full-time Team Director of Boise State, but I am also overseeing four other campuses in the Pacific Northwest. I have the honor of working with the teams at Boise State University, the University of Idaho, Idaho State University, and Eastern Washington University! I am so excited to walk with the teams in this area of the country I’ve grown to love over the past three years. Please pray for my teammates Bella, Clare, Caleb, Grant & Mikayla as well as the Team Directors I’m serving: Nolan, Gabby, and Chris!

My Story

I converted to the Catholic faith during my four years of college at UCLA. It was there that I truly encountered the mercy, love, and peace of Christ in the community at the Catholic Center. After encountering the Lord in the sacraments (especially the Eucharist!), my life was transformed. Becoming Catholic required a lot of prayer, grace, and courage, but it was the best decision I have ever made.

Once I was aware of Jesus’ radical pursuit of my heart, I soon realized his desire to reach others on campus. Inspired by other student leaders, I began to lead a Bible Study in one UCLA’s sororities. Walking with women in bible study brought a newfound joy to my heart. I realized that the greatest gift you can ever give someone is the the gift of their true identity as a son or daughter of God. It became clear to me that Jesus was inviting me to continue this mission past college as a full-time FOCUS missionary.

Your Impact

When Jesus called me to become a FOCUS missionary, he did not call me alone. He has invited me to share the fruits of my mission with others through their spiritual and financial support. This team of supporters is truly on mission with me. Their sacrifices make this full-time mission possible. I have truly been blessed to have a team of mission partners who share my vision of not just reaching Boise State, but hopefully the world.

If you are interested in joining this support team, I would love to share more about my journey and mission with you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me by phone, text (909-614-3519), or email ([email protected]) and we can schedule an appointment. I would be honored to invite you to join in this mission. Know of my prayers for you!
