My Story

Entering college I never thought about divine intimacy or how much I needed it in my life. Growing up in an athletic family sports were my life. This translated into college were I played collegiate baseball at Montclair State University in Montclair NJ while studying for a Masters degree in accounting. After playing my sport for so long I found my identity as a person by playing my sport. I measured my self-worth based on how well or poorly I played. I was truly living my life wanting to be known and recognized for my athletic ability and performance.

This was until the spring semester of my Sophomore year that I realized that things need to change. I began going to Sunday mass on campus and I was invited to lunch by a FOCUS missionary on campus who showed me how much I was loved and appreciated by God. By participating in Bible studies, going to daily mass, and growing in authentic friendships with others on campus I finally understood what being loved by God actually meant. This lead to wanting to lead Christ with other students as well. In my Junior – Graduate years in college I began to live out my faith by lead a men’s Bible study with my baseball teammates while going to daily Mass and Adoration.

As a missionary, my desire is to lead students to find Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want everyone to know that they are made for a loving relationship with Christ.

Your Impact

Spreading the message of God can not be done alone. With your contribution to my mission in both spiritual and financial ways we can help transform the world! One of the highlights from last year was seeing the growth of the men’s track team Bible study. The picture below is of their first team Bible study ever! This past spring semester, we had 35 guys attend Bible study!

Without your support, bringing souls to Jesus Christ would not be possible. I’ve been blessed with amazing people who I’ve met across my journey who have helped me every step of the way. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know!
