My Short Story
I’m a pretty regular guy. There isn’t too much to say, but since you’ve made it this far, I guess I should give you something. I grew up in a friendly, little town in Ohio. I had aspirations to be a doctor from a young age, but God had different plans. While in high school, God captured my heart and set my life on a course that I couldn’t have dreamed up. I attended Franciscan University of Steubenville, where I dropped the pre-med dreams to instead learn about and how to teach Godly things, (the fancy terms are Theology and Catechetics, respectively).
While in college, I met Grace; she is my better half and the heartbeat of our family. We are blessed with five beautiful children and a less beautiful dog.
When I’m not with my family, you can usually find me working for Jesus in some way. I have served in various churches as a youth minister over the years. Besides working in parishes, I have had the opportunity to speak at conferences and churches, camps, and campuses across the country, sharing the Gospel message with both teens and adults alike. My family and I currently live in Steubenville, Ohio, and serve as domestic missionaries for Vagabond Missions. I don’t know what plans God has for me tomorrow, but I’m excited to find out.
Bonus fact: I’m a bigger Cleveland Browns fan than you.
