Our Staff

I grew up in a mountain town in Colorado called Bailey. Even though it was quite the distance for us to get to Mass, my parents made it a priority and we went to Mass every Sunday. We eventually moved to the city when I was in 7th grade for my mom’s job. This is when I first went to Catholic school at St. James and where I really started to learn in a deeper way what we believe. My mom is currently the President of Frassati Catholic Academy, my dad is an I.T. Guy for the Archdiocese of Denver and the Seminary, and I have two younger sisters and one younger brother.

I first heard the call to be a priest when I was altar serving in 8th grade at St. James. I heard in the back of my head a voice that said, “You could do that!” as the priest was giving his homily. I ignored it for a while and ended up going to Bishop Machebeuf High School and then to college for a year at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa, where I got my C.N.A. (Certified Nurses Aid) license. I worked in a hospice center with dementia patients for about six months before entering seminary.

I am most looking forward to being able to hear confessions. I have felt so much love and mercy from Christ in the confessional that I also desire to offer this to others.
