He received his M.A. in Catholic Studies from Franciscan University in 2022. He and his wife are excited to raise their family of 7 children in the Shenandoah Valley surrounded by a great Catholic community here at CCM.  Austin deeply loves Jesus and loves when a student walks through the doors to discuss the faith.
