“The glory of God is man fully alive” -St. Irenaeus

Where We serve

God has called me back to serve my 3rd year at Auburn University as the Team Director! War Eagle! I am excited to continue what I love doing most – bringing the love and truth of the Gospel to the college campus.

Our Story

I was born and raised in a good Catholic family. They raised me well and taught me that “The world’s ways are not God’s ways”, yet I found myself believing the lies the world taught me. I believed performing well in my academic and athletic endeavors would fulfill me and my identity was found there. However, I was empty in many ways. God was always a part of my life, but never the center of it. I noticed this during my first year at Baylor and desired to make God the center of my life. There, I learned the importance of having Christ at the center of my life and truly living for Him. My life was changed thanks to FOCUS missionaries and friends at St. Peter’s. I learned what true Christian fellowship looked like, how to receive the gift of God’s friendship, and how to love others the way Christ first loved us. As a missionary, my greatest desire is to lead all souls toward Christ. My life has been transformed by Jesus and I want nothing more than to bring this joy to others and introduce them to the life-changing message of the Gospel.

Your Impact

When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I’ve been blessed with amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. This year, I’m especially excited to share this mission alongside my wife, Sophie, who supports and joins me in this calling. If you are interested in partnering with us, 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.
