Provide an insight into your Vocation story - what and who led you to Seminary?In college, I was led by two friends—Ryan and Kip—to grow in my love of the Faith and to pursue a relationship with the Lord. I found great freedom in learning that following the Father’s will is what would most fulfill me. The priests at Mizzou’s Newman Center and the example of Fr. Andrew Auer were my inspiration to first consider a vocation to the priesthood.
