After attending undergrad at Benedictine College and serving as a FOCUS missionary in Kansas and Western Washington, Jesus has invited me back to the Big Sky State which I love most! I am excited to serve as the Team Director at the University of Montana and cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store on this next adventure! Go Griz!

I am incredibly blessed to have grown up in a devout Catholic family, yet it wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I encountered the Lord in a deep and personal way. Through my brother’s example as a FOCUS missionary and the missionaries I met through him, I noticed something different about them. They lived with purpose, zeal, and a deep, contagious joy. I was intrigued and found myself wanting whatever they had.

During the spring of my senior year of high school, one of these missionaries invited me to grab coffee. At the time, I didn’t think much of the invitation, but that conversation changed everything. What began as casual small talk quickly turned into a question that caught me completely off guard: “Do you believe Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you?” I was stunned. Jesus wanted a relationship with me—personally. That realization marked the beginning of a profound transformation. Through Christ’s incredible generosity, He has continually pursued my heart, drawing me closer to Himself through prayer and through the relationships He has placed in my life.

As I have encountered college students, I have realized that many are searching for the same thing I once was: lasting happiness. We live in one of the most comfortable times in history, yet so many people experience profound loneliness and suffering. Both Mother Teresa and St. John Paul II described this isolation as one of the greatest forms of poverty. My desire is for college men and women to discover the joy they were created for. That joy is found in authentic community and, ultimately, in the person of Jesus Christ, who has completely transformed my life. I long to accompany others as they encounter Him and discover the abundant life He desires for them.

Not only do I have the honor of walking with college students and inviting them into missionary discipleship, but I also have the honor of inviting my friends and family to fulfill the great commission, too. The mission I have been called to is far greater than me, and I need a team of people behind me, both spiritually and financially, when I step on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know the best way to reach you, and I will schedule an appointment. I’d be honored to share this mission with you. 

Please let me know if you have any prayer intentions!
