Where I serve

IMG 4666 OriginalI’m blessed to serve at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, alongside an amazing team that I am glad to call my friends!

My Story

I am a cradle Catholic but lost touch with my faith especially when I got out of high school and into college.  I started searching for fulfillment in other ways and fell into a life of sin.  The summer of my junior year of college was quite possibly the lowest point of my life when one night I felt God calling me back into his loving embrace.  Going back to Stephenville, Texas for my senior year of college I was blessed to have encountered the Tarleton Catholic Campus Ministry.  This loving group of people was willing to take in a complete stranger and build them up to be the person God called them to be.  After witnessing God’s love moving through that group, and through the impactful connections formed there, I have been inspired to share the love I encountered there with others!

Your Impact
