Priesthood Class of 2020 (Catholic Standard):
Through conversion, man discovered vocation to the priesthood
My life before the seminary:
After graduating from Hillsdale College I worked on Capitol Hill while completing a master's in National Security. I was raised in various protestant denominations.
What convinced me to enter the seminary:
My job, personal reading, and most of all the Rosary led me to the Catholic Church. One day my pastor asked me if I had ever considered the priesthood. After a year of fruitful spiritual direction with him and seeing my parents enter the Church I was confident enough to make the decision.
Other interests include:
Running, reading great books, learning Greek and Latin, and playing tennis.
