Ignatian Spirituality has taken over my life in a good way. About a year after completing my spiritual direction training, I prayed the Ignatian Exercises. It was life changing and the best spiritual undertaking of my life. I was trained to offer the Exercises by Bill Zuelke and have now led more than a hundred people through the Exercises.

Along the way ended up rewriting Joseph Tetlow's material which took me so much deeper on my Ignatian journey. I ended up being Bill Zuelke's understudy for his Ignatian training, which I have now taken over upon his retirement. And now I've been led to found The Ignatian Center.

My passion is to allow more people to pray the Ignatian Exercises, and then allow them to continue on a longer Ignatian journey. I also want to equip more spiritual directors to offer the Ignatian Exercises and build a thriving Ignatian community through The Ignatian Center.

As an Ignatian director I have become a witness of God's love and believe that God's love is the most powerful thing in the universe. My prayer is that God would continue to shower us with enough love and grace that we can go joyfully wherever Spirit may lead us.
