Where I serve

I have been called to serve as a Team Director at Colorado Mesa University! MAVs UP!

It is here in Grand Junction that I will be found playing spike-ball, volleyball, slack lining, or getting coffee with students and teammates. I love movies, writing, billiards pool, hiking, and exploring the great outdoors while learning new skills. With a spirit of boldness and fortitude, the team and I will be speaking with new faces on and off campus, sharing the gospel; leading others to do the same

My Story

Jesus impacted my life through FOCUS bible studies and Mission Trips. Although a cradle Catholic, I had zero interest in furthering my faith, since I thought He was a demanding dictator. Due to this, I desired all the things that this confusing world had to offer, but it led me to depression, especially during the quarantine. However, I remembered my sister was part of a bible study in college. She seemed hopeful and joyous with the experiences and friends she made through them. So I hoped to feel that too. In my last year of college when the quarantine lifted, I sought to find a bible study without any intent on diving deeper into the catholic faith; one I never thought I could make mine. With the help of the FOCUS missionaries, I found that I could authentically be myself and was seen as the prodigal son who had come home. With each bible study, missionary event, and opportunity of discipleship, I began to see the heart of Jesus and his pursuit of my sonship. Throughout my time as a missionary, the Father has given me purpose through a joyous life, setting my sights for the one with Him after. Therefore I truly desire to share a similar vision with as many people as I can before my time is up.

Your Impact

When I decided to answer the call to FOCUS, I realized the kind of decision I was making. I am a Missionary to which I must rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. A disciple of Christ in need of emissaries who are truly blessed to come with me on this difficult journey as I serve on campuses. If you feel called or are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I truly would be honored to share this mission with you.
