Where I serve

God has called me to serve at Baylor University in Waco, Texas! Sic ‘Em Bears!

My Story

I was blessed to be raised in a Catholic family with parents who desired to see me grow in the faith. However, while in middle school and high school I let my parents live out my faith for me more than I was living it for myself. While in college, I got swept up in academics, fraternity life, and trying to reconcile it all with the faith I grew up with. It wasn’t until my Junior year at Georgia Tech (Sting ‘Em), that I was approached by a FOCUS missionary who invited me to my first Bible study. His simple invitation opened up a whole new reality of the faith for me: seeing other college students thriving in their academic career while passionately pursuing the same Catholic faith I had.

Almost immediately I wanted their same passion and relationship with Christ I never knew was even possible. God was all the more seeking and pursuing my heart, because with every step I took in investing in my faith, God always responded with more love and giving me an even greater desire to pursue Him.

This has now led me to want to share all the love and truth God has shown me with my college peers, who need Him now more than ever! For the truth is truth for all, and I am always reminded of the significance of this truth when faced with the question: How long is an eternity?

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. I want to save as many souls as possible, but that mission can only be accomplished with the prayers, generosity, and support of people like yourself. If you want to join me on this mission and help make an eternal impact, please reach out to me and I would love to have you on my support team.
