About Us
It is our heart’s desire that The Catholic Grapevine can help us all, as the Body of Christ, be more deeply connected in collaboration and creativity. We hope you will allow us to be a mountain and a megaphone to get your message out to the world and find the people looking for your service, talents, and opportunities. Connection is so crucial and we long to be part of the fulfillment of the Lord’s prayer that we would be one.

About The Founders
Licensed Professional Counselor • Founder & Director
Hi everyone! Welcome to The Catholic Grapevine! I'm from coastal Georgia and hold a bachelor's degree in Theology and a master's degree in counseling, both from Franciscan University of Steubenville.
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and trauma therapist who has had the pleasure and privilege of treating clients of all ages from around the world.
I appeared on numerous episodes of Women of Grace on EWTN, as well as many radio shows and podcasts, authored More than Words: The Freedom to Thrive After Trauma and Fearless: Abundant Life Through Infinite Love.
My passion is helping captives of shame and fear find freedom and come to know God's love.
Faith-Based Entrepreneur • Musician
Raised in Ohio as one of six siblings and homeschooled through high school, I learned early the value of discipline, curiosity, and strong community. Those foundations continued to shape my life through service in the U.S. Army Reserves and later through my move to Colorado in 2021 to pursue higher education.
I earned a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration, with minors in Management and Digital Media. With a passion for both creativity and strategy, I went on to found Heaven Bound Music Marketing, where I serve as Founder and CEO. Through this work, I help artists, labels, and organizations grow their brands and expand their presence within the faith-based music and entertainment space through innovative marketing strategies, digital media, and creative storytelling.
My Catholic faith has played a central role in both my personal and professional life. It shapes how I study Christianity, interact with others, and appreciate the beauty, depth, and tradition of the Christian Church.
As a musician and creative thinker, I found my calling at the intersection of faith, art, and marketing. When the vision for The Catholic Grapevine was shared with me, I immediately recognized its potential and became a co-founder, committed to helping bring the mission to life through strategy, creativity, and purpose-driven media.
Outside of work, I enjoy lifting and running, snowboarding, writing music, playing worship music at church, and reading.
Catholic Filmmaker • Husband • Father
Hi everyone! Welcome to The Catholic Grapevine! I’m a Catholic filmmaker, husband, and father from northern Illinois, now living in Ohio.
I discovered my calling for filmmaking after starting a podcast and realized I could use my creativity to share the truth and beauty of the Catholic Church. As founder of Divine Revival, I create videos highlighting the Mass, sacraments, and inspiring people of the Church from the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration to parishes across the country, focusing on filmmaking within the Diocese of Cleveland.
I joined The Catholic Grapevine through my friendship with Kolbe, bonded over our love for business and growing the Catholic faith. I’m excited to help fulfill the Grapevine’s mission by connecting Catholic institutions, groups, and individuals, fostering collaboration, creativity, and community across the Church. When I’m not with my growing family, I’m filming and creating content to showcase the beauty of our faith. I live by the motto: “Don’t let the world change you, change the world,” and I’m praying for all who use this site to experience God’s love and grace.
