I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the age of 21, I transferred from UNLV to Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego. I was addicted to the
weather right away and after graduating with a degree in Management Information Systems, I decided to stay in San Diego
as long as possible. Growing up, I was raised in various Protestant denominations, but soon after graduation God began
drawing me into full communion with the Catholic Church. After prayer and studies through the Franciscan University
Distance Learning program, I discerned a vocation to the priesthood. I have been accepted to enter into the Formation
Program for the Diocese of San Diego and I look forward to this next step in God's plan.
