Why do you want to become a priest? I can't think of anything more awesome to do. The Eucharist means everything to me and I want to share that love with others.

Who is your favorite saint? St. Maria Goretti because she was a martyr for purity.

If you could talk to anyone in the course of our history (dead or alive), who would it be and why?

St. Thomas Aquinas, so that I could pick his brain on philosophy and theology.

What is your favorite past time or hobby? I love weight lifting, chopping fire wood, and ultimate Frisbee.

Do you have a favorite Bible verse? Gen. 3:15 "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; They will strike at your head, while you strike at their heel."

Did anyone (priest, religious sister, friend. etc.) make an impact on your decision to enter seminary?
1. My sister, Sr. Teresa Margaret, who is Carmelite nun
2. Fr. Philip Wolf
3. A good friend, Steve Dawson, founder of St. Paul's Street Evangelization

What is your favorite form of prayer? Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

What is your favorite title of the Blessed Mother and/or Jesus? Mary Mother of Mercy and Christ the King

Any advice for someone discerning the priesthood or religious life? Pray a lot, study the faith, and hang out with any priest/religious who inspires you.
