Hometown: Marshall, Missouri

Home Parish: St. Peter

Seminary: Conception Seminary College

Prior to entering the seminary:  I came after graduating high school. I was also working at the public library and at Syngenta Seeds.

Enjoy most about the seminary: The peaceful atmosphere here is wonderful. But most of all I enjoy the fellowship between all the guys here.

Favorite thing I have learned while in the seminary: I am taking the course Intro into Ecclesiastical Latin. It is a lot of fun. I feel like some young sophisticated scholar learning Latin.

Why I decieded to come to the seminary: I felt like, and still do, that God was calling me. I also feel that the priesthood is one of the most sacrificial occupations available, and one of the best ways to serve the Lord.
