I was converted to the Orthodox Faith from Roman Catholicism after some years of seeking for what God was asking of my life. I still consider myself a seeker on a journey to find the answers to life questions. After reading the book The Way of the Pilgrim, I began my journey east. After graduation from Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Theological Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts I was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in the Romanian Orthodox Archdiocese of America and Canada on July 4, 2004 in Chicago, Illinois. I am currently the pastor of St. Michael’s Romanian Orthodox Church in Southbridge, Massachusetts.

My first OCF experience was in March of 2005 with a Real Break Team to the Hogar Rafel Orphanage in Guatemala. I was impressed with the dedication of the students and their faith. It was an honor for me to be their spiritual leader.

For me, ministry at Harvard is a continuation of the journey that God has asked me to take, and I look forward to this journey with you.
