Interesting Facts
I grew up going to Mass in the Diocese of Harrisburg, and only decided to discern with the Archdiocese of Baltimore because of living with family in Hagerstown to shorten my commute to school. It was there that I started to take discernment seriously, and was drawn in by the witness of the fraternity among the Baltimore seminarians.
My Life Before Seminary
Before seminary, I was a student at Hagerstown Community College and then Shepherd University studying towards a major in Cyber Security.
What Convinced Me to Enter Seminary
I was convinced to enter seminary after reading a pamphlet by Servant of God Fr. William Doyle titled "Shall I Be A Priest?". The pamphlet really spoke to me, and gave me an extra push to talk to my pastor about seminary.
Other Interests
I love learning about history, and enjoy historical podcasts and books.
