Where I serve

I am serving at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. I have both graduated from Colorado State and finished my first year of mission. Now God has called me away from home, inward to the midwest and bring the gospel to Omaha Nebraska! I feel my strengths of formation and fire for the gospel will pair well with the simple, home values of the midwest. I am excited to see what the Lord has in store for me with this move and transition to full-time mission work! Nebraska has no idea whats coming!

My Story

Looking back it is easy to see how much the Lord was preparing me to serve him as a missionary. I grew up in a military family and lived in different countries such as Turkey and Australia before settling in Littleton, Colorado. I was raised in a non-denominational family and really fell away from my faith in high school. I eventually was pursued by a good friend of mine who was catholic and was profoundly changed by the teachings and lives of these guys I was being invited to hangout with. I converted to Catholicism my Senior year of high school at St. Frances Cabrini Parish. It was then that I realized how powerful authentic friendship and intentional pursuit can change someones life and bring them to truly know Jesus Christ. I carried this into my years at CSU and became so invested in the community through leading bible studies, mission trips, SEEK Conferences, and amazing relationships. My heart had realized how the love of Jesus Christ and the friendship that comes with that is freely given so I MUST freely give it. This lead to me becoming a FOCUS Missionary and I am filled with a fire to proclaim the gospel and lead as many students as I can to Christ. Lets be Saints!
