I was born in Hobbs, New Mexico. When I was one year old, my family moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where we lived for four years, and then we moved to Kingwood, Texas, where we have been living for he past thirteen years. I am the third child of the family of four boys. My parents encouraged us to attend mass as a family to get involved at St. Martha. I have always desired to serve others and that is one of the reasons why I feel that God id calling me to the priesthood.
