Future plans:

I hope to be ordained a priest of Jesus Christ to serve God's holy people in Idaho.

How has your major contributed to your professional or personal development?

Philosophy has allowed me to receive reality as it gives itself to me in Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. I have learned that I know little, but want to know a lot, especially about the nature of the created world and human persons as images of God.

What has been your proudest or most significant accomplishment during your Gonzaga career?

It would have to be this award, because I do not think that I am a good philosopher. I just like philosophy.
