During my sophomore year in high school, I was looking at different options to pursue after graduation, and the thought of priesthood came to mind. I quickly dismissed the thought because that was the last thing I wanted. I then attended a Steubenville retreat in Dallas, and it was there that, after receiving Communion during the closing Mass and asking God to lead me in His love to those around me, I received a vision of myself in a cassock. It was then that I knew what I had to pursue.

I am a certified chef.
