Where I serve

God has called me to serve at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. Vs up! I have also been given the special opportunity to be a Varsity Catholic missionary on campus as well. This means I will get to work closely with male athletes on campus. This coming year I will be working closely with the Football team as well as other programs.

My Story

I grew up in western Washington where my family raised me in the Catholic faith. All through childhood and into high school my faith was fostered and continued to grow. Heading into college I stopped practicing my faith until my 4th year (out of 5) when Jesus reached out to me during Adoration and called for me to come back to him. Since then, my life has completely changed. On October 4th, 2025, I got engaged to my now Fiancée Annalise Scheerer and will be getting married at Our Lady of the Assumption October 3rd, 2026. Along with getting married Annalise and I felt that Jesus was calling us to make disciples of all nations and peoples and joined FOCUS only a month after getting engaged. We will be serving together at U of I and are excited to meet students and help them grow as sons and daughters of God.
