After two years discerning between Catholicism and Orthodoxy, I came home — alongside my wife, who reverted with me, and the baptism of our two sons. Coming to Catholicism was like discovering the missing pieces of a great tapestry.

I was born and raised Catholic, but really came to know Christ through the FOCUS missionaries at my University’s campus. It was there that I met my fiancé and found a calling to evangelize online.

I was always a “good kid” growing up. I tried to do the right thing because it was the right thing, but I can’t say that I had met Jesus “one-to-one” as Mother Teresa said until an experience in Confession during High School.

My parents raised me, along with my three siblings, in the Protestant Evangelical tradition. After graduating high school, I attended university and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering.

This was my conversion, where the scales fell off of my eyes. I had realized I have been living a life of sin. Recalling it now still amazes me how wonderfully God works. From that moment on I stopped living for the world.
