Vocation Story:
I grew up the youngest of four siblings in a very musical family. As my older brothers flourished in their music studies and careers, I sought to do the same. I worked hard growing up, and found great success myself, both as a musician and composer.
Despite having a great gift for music, I developed a deep interest in my faith during high school, which brought me great peace. I decided to begin college studying music but wasn’t sure if it was where my heart was at. I quickly found myself feeling unsatisfied with music but lacking an alternate plan. I turned to my vocation director to seek some guidance and he suggested I make a visit to Brute. I enjoyed my visit and began the application process. I transferred and joined the Brute community in January 2017.
