I arrived at the "Home of the Fighting Gobblers" in the Fall of 1979 prepared to study Electrical Engineering. I was not Catholic and had not even been baptized, but I became a Christian in 1981 while attending bible studies on campus. I joined the Dayspring Christian Community, graduated in Engineering Science and Mechanics in 1984, and worked as a Project Engineer in Blacksburg for eight years. In 1992, I became a Catholic through the RCIA class at the Newman Center! I immediately felt the call to priesthood and went to the seminary in 1995. In 1999, I joined the Benedictine order in Richmond and was ordained a priest in 2004. I have never regretted my decision for a minute. I am currently Pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Norfolk, VA (trinitynorfolk.org). The ESM degree has come in handy when the Church needed a new roof, HVAC equipment, electrical conduit, and brickwork!
