What would you say to a young man who thinks he may have a vocation: If today you hear his voice, harden not your heart.

Favorite Scripture Passage: Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me."

Favorite Saint: St. John of the Cross and St. Ephraim both are great poets.


Anything else of note you would like to share with the Diocese: Before entering seminary, I was an English Teacher at Terry Sanford High School.
