I am from the Village of Cashton, Wisconsin, and I have been in formation for diocesan priesthood for the Diocese of La Crosse for the past three years.

Lately, I have been moved to look at all things through the loving lens of the Father as I draw closer to Him as His son. I pray that I may serve you all humbly and well as our Lord does daily.
