Why I am a Youth Minister
Late in high school, I had a conversion experience that led me to Christ. All of a sudden, I met Fr. Jack Peterson who introduced me to Youth Apostles and I began to feel a true God-given desire to help young people discover Christ in their lives. I do what I do because I fully believe God is asking me to do it. And, what I do is a source of great joy in my life. Lastly, I could not do what I do without the awesome support of great youth-loving pastors like Fr. Stewart Culkin and Fr. Bob Cilinski.
About Me
I grew up in NoVA and went to Oakton H.S. I attended Miami University where I met my wife, Carole. After college, Carole left for missionary work with the Salesians for a year while I attended Ringling Brothers Clown College and proceeded on a 9-month U.S. tour performing for the Greatest Show on Earth. After our adventures, we married and now live in the Manassas area with our six awesome children. I thank my grandmother for allowing God to work through her in her final days so that my heart might be opened to Him.
