Chaplain

I am excited to be the Chaplain for Viking Catholic on the WWU Campus. I look forward to meeting you and helping you in your journey with God. The three most important things about me: I love Jesus, I love the Catholic faith, and I love being a priest. I have been a priest for five years and wouldn't trade this vocation for anything. My journey began by returning to the faith after completing my undergraduate at Central Washington University. After my reversion, I became a youth minister at my home parish where I first felt the call to the priesthood.  I completed my philosophy requirements at Mount Angel Seminary in Oregon, and completed my theology requirements through the Pontifical North American College, studying at the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas.  I have a passion for teaching the Catholic faith and leading souls closer to Jesus. My favorite saints are St. John Vianney, St. Thomas Aquinas, and of course, Mother Mary. I love the outdoors, coffee, playing guitar, and and hanging out with good friends. I hope to see you at one of our Masses or other events. Know that God loves you, He sees you as enough, and that He has a beautiful plan for your life!
