About me

Gender Male
Industry Religion
Occupation Jesuit scholastic
Location Chicago, Illinois, United States
Introduction I have been studying for the priesthood with the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic religious order also known as the Jesuits, since 8/14/05. I pronounced perpetual vows (poverty, chastity, obedience) on 8/15/07, feast of the Assumption. For Jesuits, the course of studies before ordination lasts 10-12 years. Prior to entering religious life, I worked for two years as a newspaper reporter. I graduated in 2003 from all-male Wabash College, where I read history and political science.
Interests I like to read, write, play basketball and play the trombone.
Favorite Movies Slapstick, documentary, historical drama, foreign films, musicals, Hitchcock
Favorite Music Jazz, blues, folk, country, classical
Favorite Books Two religious favorites are "Poverty of Spirit" by Johannes Metz, SJ, and the "Imitation of Christ." I also like mystery novels, historical stuff, art books, non-fiction.

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?

Because I can't swim.
