He has been coaching at a tennis academy and after school program in southern California for over five years. He has had tennis coaching related jobs over the years and had been a successful high school tennis player. His college degree is in psychology, and he has combined that with his passion for sports in launching a website where he publishes weekly posts about sport psychology, for athletic success and mental health. He is also getting ready to launch a website called The Catholic Path, where he intends to publish weekly book reviews and blog posts.
Notable guest quotes:
“They… got us baptized and confirmed, so, I’m very thankful for that. And, my grandparents, on both sides, they’re actually very, very devout Catholics, so that helped a lot.”
“What comforted me during that time was, my grandma, who… was a devout Catholic, she was leading us in the rosary… That was a very powerful moment.”
“I decided there was more to life than just my career goals and I wanted to put my faith first.”
“That definitely inspired me to start praying the rosary. From that moment I completely decided to take my faith more seriously… and I’m sure God changed my life at that moment right there.”
“She encouraged me to go to confession and to start reading Catholic books… She helped me fall in love with God and the Catholic church and my faith.”
“Another great thing about working with him is that he’s Catholic and that’s another reason why we bonded.”
“I’ll go around and take pictures of Catholic churches and my wife and I will post them on our Instagram with captions of prayers… just to help people, just to share our faith.”
