Who Influenced/Inspired you to Priesthood: My pastor Monsignor Williams and my parents. They always have encouraged me.

What would you say to a young man who thinks he may have a vocation: The best place to discern if you have a vocation is the seminary.

Favorite Scripture Passage: John 1:1...It is a constant reminder for me that God always is and always will be present in my life guiding me along as I discern God's call in my life.

Favorite Saint: St. Thomas Aquinas... One of the things that attracted me the most about St. Thomas Aquinas was his desire to increase his knowledge, especially in regards to his faith, and share it with others. So when I was being confirmed in 2006 I chose St. Thomas to be my patron saint because I thought he would be able to help me in my studies.
