Ministry Background: I have been working in youth ministry since August of 2001 when I was the Director of Youth Ministry for St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Lewisville, TX.

My most recent experience is here in the Brazos Valley, working at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Bryan. We have served there since 2009, building the ministry from 9 teens to an average of 45+ teens per night. Before coming to St. Joseph’s in Bryan much of my experience was with high school youth- to be honest, middle school youth scared me! After years of ministry in the middle school age group, I have come to see how important it is to minister to these youth and help them ignite a fire for Christ and discipleship that will help them on their journey with Christ.

I’ve spoken at various conferences including National Conference of Catholic Youth Ministry, and the Dallas Ministry Conference. I’ve spoken at various parishes and schools within the Arch-Diocese of St. Louis and in the Diocese of Austin.

I’m also the co-host of our weekly podcast Ministry Leaders Anonymous through Next Level Ministry
