I worked as a graphic designer and video editor before entering the seminary; this role allows me to blend creativity with storytelling. I loved shaping visuals that communicated meaning, and over time I realized that the desire to communicate beauty and truth was quietly forming my heart for the priestly ministry. However, I first sensed God’s call much earlier, as a young altar server. Serving at the altar gave me a deep sense of peace and belonging that I still have. That early spark grew into a steady conviction that God was inviting me to something more.

Moreover, my bishop sent me to Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary because of its strong reputation for forming mature, dedicated men for the priesthood. Finding a community tailored to men with diverse life and professional experiences felt like a natural, encouraging fit for my ongoing formation. Outside of my studies and ministry, one intriguing thing about me is my deep passion for playing soccer. Navigating the field requires teamwork, strategy, and stamina; these qualities keep me grounded, active, and balanced.
