I went from a “frat star” at the University of Delaware to a husband and father of two in the Catholic Church.
For years, I was a cultural Catholic chasing the dream—money, status, luxury, the finance-mogul lifestyle I thought would make me happy.
But in 2019, everything changed.
I slid into her DMs and, for the first time, surrendered my future to Christ: “Lord, if she answers, I believe she’s the one I’m meant to marry. Your will be done.”
My phone buzzed instantly.
Earlier that same day, I had received the Eucharist and noticed her praying devoutly in the pew with her family—and the trajectory of my entire life shifted.
Six years later, we’re married with two beautiful children.
I call myself a “Glad Trad” now. But the growth wasn’t overnight. It came through grace, suffering, discipline, and the powerful intercession of Our Blessed Mother and St. Joseph.
Today, I’m a full-time real estate investor and the founder of Rosary and Real Estate, a mission-driven group helping people build both generational wealth and spiritual poverty.
I believe God has called me to teach truth to a generation drowning in false promises of happiness and success.
My life is proof: real joy comes from faith, family, and surrender—not the world’s illusions.
