I currently serve as Director of Collegiate Outreach for the South Area. I am co-responsible for leading our team of nine Regional Directors, and together we are responsible for the 260 missionaries who serve our 60 campuses in the South. I will lead Florida, Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Arkansas, while my colleague will lead South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Oklahoma, and Mississippi. We will split Louisiana. In all, our campuses reached over 20,000 students in 2026.

God has led us on a wild and amazing journey thus far. I first served for three years at the University of Louisiana of Lafayette. I saw a program grow from nothing to something vibrant and fruitful which touches hundreds of students each years all over campus, from greek houses to athletic teams to the student government and everywhere in between. I then served as Team Director for the founding team at Texas A&M University in College Station, where I met and served with my now amazing wife, Meredith. Our team of four had an incredible year which saw great graces and abundant fruit. I became a Regional Director in 2015, working to form, train, lead, and support missionaries in their mission on campus. I also support the Dioceses we serve and work to expand our mission into new venues. In 2017 Meredith and I were asked to help launch FOCUS Europe. We moved to Dublin, Ireland with our four-month-old daughter, Lucy, and later to Vienna, Austria. Over a period of seven years, we helped launch FOCUS on 10 campuses in five countries, and were blessed to see incredible graces of conversion, fruit beyond our hopes, and more than 15 European vocations to priesthood or religious life. We returned to the States in 2021, and in 2023 I returned to exclusively working in the US.

We have been supremely blessed to have five children: Lucy (2017), Angela (2018), Peter (2020), John (2022), and Gregory, (2025). Meredith homeschools them, and they are our joy! We are a missionary family, and our children relish the opportunities to interact with the missionaries at training, regional gatherings, or when we have the chance to host them in our home.

I come from a wonderful and large family–the youngest of nine children of two faithful parents. Even so, my faith was shaken and I lost my way in the years following the death of my father in high school. My college years were a clash between a seemingly successful academic and social life and a great struggle with sin, emptiness and darkness. Despite my Catholic upbringing, I did not know God. By God’s grace at an hour of great need during my senior year at UF, I met Keegan, a FOCUS missionary who befriended me and invited me into a senior men’s Bible study. It was there in that study where I encountered, for the first time in my life, men who were pursuing Christ and virtue. These men became friends, and with them I also encountered Jesus and His saving love and mercy that simply changed my life. I surrendered my life to Christ, and He soon called me to be His missionary. When I learned about what FOCUS is I fell in love with the mission we seek to live, where one invests their life deeply into a few, loving them in authentic friendship and leading them to a relationship with Christ and the Church, and then teaches them to do the same for others. In this way the Gospel spreads like wildfire and we can reach the entire world which so desperately God and all that he offers. The thought of doing for even one person what Keegan was able to do for me was enough for me to give my life to Christ in this mission. Meredith and I are committed to serving in this way for as long as the Lord continues to call us.

During my time with FOCUS, God has blessed me and my family with amazing mission partners who believe in this mission and whose gifts directly impact the lives of thousands.  Your gift helps students come to know whose they are and who they are–that they are beloved sons and daughters of a good and loving Father, and that they destined for the greatness of the saints.  I have personally seen hundreds of students enter into this reality and through them we see the hope for our world. Our students graduate and become teachers, lawmakers, doctors, artists, priests and religious, and mothers and fathers. Your gift leaves a mark on this world that we will never fully realize until we are in the presence of the Blessed Trinity in Heaven.

I love sharing this mission with new people and would love to have you join me in it. Please contact me any time and I would happily set up an appointment to meet with you and share how you can be an integral part of this mission.
