We encounter God in an intimate relationship through daily prayer, the sacraments and the Scriptures.
I serve as Director of Parish Formation with FOCUS Catholic, equipping parishes with teams and resources to know Christ Jesus and to respond to his Great Commission. With a background in biblical studies and years of ministry leadership, my work flows from a deep love for Scripture and a desire to see parish communities come alive in faith and mission. I live in the Good Life with my wife, Elizabeth, and our many rambunctious boys. GBR.
I initially joined FOCUS in 2015, serving alongside my wife and teammates at South Dakota State University for four years as a missionary and Team Director. In 2019 I completed my graduate studies in Theology from the Augustine Institute and was invited to join a team of faithful men and scholars to build The Emmaus Institute for Biblical Studies in the Diocese of Lincoln. After serving Emmaus for seven years as a teacher and leader, the Lord brought me back to serving the mission of FOCUS as a Formation Director for Parish Outreach. Thank you for your prayer and partnership in this mission.

By building genuine friendships, we meet students on a deeper level.

We teach students how to share the gospel, who in turn teach other students how to pass it on.
