Welcome to my website! I have a passion for helping draw people closer to Jesus Christ in the Catholic Church, and at this website you will find some of my writings, information on how to have me come to speak to your group, as well as a few of my book reviews. Also, follow my blog The Divine Life for my latest writings and activities.

I am the author of the book Who is Jesus Christ? Unlocking the Mystery in the Gospel of Matthew, published by Our Sunday Visitor. My next book, titled Holiness for Everyone is on pursuing holiness in the midst of ordinary life, based on the spirituality of St. Josemaría Escrivá, and will be published in Spring 2012.

A convert to Catholicism from Evangelical Protestantism, I was received into the Catholic Church in 1993. I have appeared on EWTN and am a frequent guest on Catholic radio, including "The Son Rise Morning Show", "Kresta in the Afternoon", and "Catholic Answers Live." I was also the co-host of the Washington, DC radio show "Catholic Matters." My articles have appeared in OSV Newsweekly, Homiletic & Pastoral Review, Catholic Online and CatholicExchange.com.

I am now the Director of Evangelization for the Diocese of Venice in Florida. I have a Master's Degree in Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville and I live in Florida with my wife, Suzan, and our five children.

I regularly speak to parish groups and other organizations on a variety of topics - contact me to schedule a talk for your group.
