My Story

I came to know CCO in my 2nd year of University after encouragement from my parents and eventually a roommate. I avoided CCO to live life my way. In my fourth year of university, I became tired of running from God and decided to read the Gospel of Matthew and eventually went to confession. At confession, I encountered the most powerful experience of mercy and discovered Jesus in the most real way I hadn’t ever known. I later hunted down CCO to find others that I could journey with and join the mission.

My Mission

I spent 2 years working for CCO in our finance department right after I graduated from University with a teaching degree at the University of Saskatchewan. I then spent 9 years as a CCO Campus missionary from Ottawa, to Saskatoon to Calgary. I then felt a calling to teach and taught in the Calgary Catholic School for 3 years between 2019-22. I decided to go back to school in 2022 as may wife and I discerned also to move to Ottawa to work for CCO there. I am now working for CCO in our National Headquarters in Ottawa. My lovely wife also works for CCO and we have 2 beautiful children ages 7 and 3.

I recently finished a Masters degree in the Science of Psychology from Diving Mercy University in Virginia, which will aid in my ability to serve CCO on the Staff Care Team within our Human Resources department.

I specifically serve CCO’s mission as the Staff Care Coordinator. My job is to help provide a fantastic work environment and professional care for our staff family while ensuring excellent compliance to relevant HR legislation and best practices. Caring for our missionaries in all the unique ways necessary is a passion of mine as I have a background in teaching as well as Psychology. If you’d like to know more, please reach out! I am new to this role as of August 2024.
