For more than 15 years, I’ve criss-crossed countries and oceans speaking to thousands upon thousands of people about the Catholic faith. I’ve written, produced, and hosted multiple best-selling video series that have been translated into more than a dozen languages and written books. Why?

Because my burning passion is to light a fire in the hearts of believers to seek deep intimacy with God through authentic Catholic spirituality.

In short, I want to inspire Catholics (including myself) to sainthood.

But while the Catholic faith is the center of my life, it certainly didn’t start that way. I’m a Protestant pastor’s kid and former Evangelical missionary who converted to Catholicism in 1998. Greatest (and hardest) thing I’ve ever done…by far.

I’ve got a really beautiful wife and six lovely children who keep me quite busy. I love ’em all to pieces. And while I now reside in Ohio, I’m a native of Texas (and have been known to start “y’allin'” within three hours of crossing the Mason-Dixon).
