“I was attracted to the priesthood as a child; however, I became distracted in my teenage years.  My faith remained important to me, particularly the Holy Eucharist; however, I decided I wanted a career and a family.  After I graduated from Texas A&M, I began teaching catechism at Notre Dame parish in Kerrville, Texas.  This caused me to grow in devotion to the Faith.  After I went to law school at St. Mary’s in San Antonio, I began my legal career in Houston, eventually opening my own firm, but something remained missing.  After four years, I finally asked the Lord what he wanted for me, and he answered in my prayer.  Since entering the Seminary, the Lord has brought me peace by following the call to serve his Church.”
