About Me

I am a cradle Catholic who although has attended church for all my life spent much of my adulthood as a person in the pews each Sunday developing a pick and choose attitude on Church teachings. After many years of being a Catholic only in name, I realized that this is not what God intended for me. Having the scales drop of my eyes, I found that the faith of my childhood was profoundly rich and intriguing to the point that I took it more seriously. One thing led to the next as I began to read many Catholic authors, Thomas Merton and Matthew Kelly being some of my favorites, and then began writing here myself. As a devout Catholic, I am challenged daily to live out the Church teachings in a society that views the institution as out of touch and need for change. I myself see the value of our faith and continue my faith journey as an eager traveler looking for new roads along the path of life.

Married with two children, I have tried to live out my faith in all areas of my life. On a personal level, I am a lifelong educator of middle school students who is passionate about the teaching of history. I am also an avid endurance cyclist who loves the long reflective hours on the bike when my body allows me.
