WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU THOUGHT YOU MIGHT HAVE A VOCATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD? I first began discerning the priesthood while attending a retreat my junior year of high school. WHO OR WHAT EVENTS INFLUENCED YOUR DISCERNMENT JOURNEY? Father Kyle Walterscheid, Vocation Director for Fort Worth at the time, and my parish priests, Monsignor James Hart and Father Dennis Smith, were very influential. My youth minister and confirmation sponsor were also important. WHAT WOULD PEOPLE BE SURPRISED TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? People are often surprised when I say I enjoy reading fiction, particularly plays and poetry.
