My Life Before Seminary
Before entering seminary I was homeschooled through high school and studied for two years at Thomas Nelson Community College.
What Convinced Me to Enter Seminary
After my confirmation I started spending time in silence with Our Lord in Adoration. In my heart during those years a desire for the salvation of souls and all that entails began to grow, as well as a love for the Church and the beauty of her sacred traditions in music, art, and liturgy. After discerning the Lord's plan for my life over the course of several years, I entered formation to draw closer to Him and better learn how to follow His Will.
Other Interests
I love recurve and longbow archery, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and singing polyphony and Gregorian chant.
