Adult Evangelization

Bio: As a member of the Parish Support Team, my job is to accompany parish leaders and offer them formation and support so that they can grow in their identity as missionary disciples and be catalysts for renewal in their parishes. I also develop content for our blog and for the Catholic Telegraph, and give talks at retreats, conferences, workshops, and in-service days throughout the Archdiocese. What I love about my work is that I am encouraged to use the gifts God gave me, I get to have a real impact in people’s lives, and I get to work alongside people who value and support me.

A Little About Me: I’m from Owensboro, Kentucky (Go Cats!). I have a twin brother who is a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Louisville, KY. I met my wife, who’s from Maine, on a website for fans of Catholic Hip Hop. I like my food as spicy as you can possibly make it.

Favorite Saint: St. Michael the Archangel

Favorite Bible Verse: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Bio: As the Assoicate Director for Youth Evanglization, my role is to assist with training and development for youth evangelists, mainly in the Dayton area. I also oversee the parish athletic programs for the Archdiocese.

Bio: I help empower each young adult in the Archdiocese to live out their unique and personal vocation in and through the local Church. I love seeing each person around me come alive, and it is such a joy to be able to dedicate my work to helping others see what a gift they are and respond to the invitation to the incomprehensibly magnificent life that Christ places before each of us.

A Little About Me: I have an associate degree in Electromechanical Engineering Technology with minors in Lasers and Renewable Energies, and a Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati. During college I served as the President for the UC Society of St. Paul. I am currently nearing the end of my MBA program with Walsh University and the last semester of my two years in the Missionary Innovator formation program at the Saint John Leadership Institute. I'm a poet and appreciator of music; I love to read and write, be outside, play sports, and go on all manner of adventures with friends.

Favorite Saint: Joseph & Mary

Favorite Bible verse: "Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to behold my glory which you have given me in your love for me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father, the world has not known you, but I have known you; and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” - John 17:24-26
