Who inspired you to be a priest?
I have been inspired to be a priest by Fr. Larry King, Fr. Michael Alber, St. John Vianney, and most of all, the Holy Spirit!

Why do you want to be a priest?
I want to be a priest be
cause I believe that this is what God wants for me, and because being a priest will bring me into closer contact with the love of my life, the Eucharist.

What do you love the most about seminary?
What I love most about the seminary is how much time we get to spend with the Eucharist!

What are you most grateful for?
I am most grateful for all the love I have received: the Love of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the love of my family, and the love that I see in the people around me.
