For nearly two decades, I’ve been on a relentless mission, driven by a deep passion for ministry that started with a simple internship in a parish youth ministry office. I’ve developed resources that empower youth ministers to serve teenagers well, equipping them to call young people into a relationship with Jesus Christ. My work with parishes allowed me to see how the culture and leadership of a parish doesn’t simply impact teenagers and families, but every aspect of parish life. I’ve been lucky enough to travel around the world, sharing the Gospel with diverse audiences from Poland to New Zealand, and throughout the United States.

My most recent adventure was the incredible opportunity to direct programming for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress—a historic event that will forever mark the Catholic Church in the United States. I currently serve as the Vice President of Programming and Administration at the National Eucharist Congress.

I love to write and I’ve authored several books about humility, new beginnings, and discerning God’s call in your life. I hold both a Master of Arts in Religious Education with an emphasis in youth and young adult ministry and a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, which has allowed me to balance both “business” and the “ministry” of church work.

Outside of ministry, I love Spartan Races, the discipline of marathon running, and the simple pleasures of cooking and gardening. But above all, I cherish the moments spent with my wife and our three children, Elijah Daniel, Sophia Grace, and Micah James. Together, we are committed to living out our faith and leading others to do the same.
