Hey guys, my name’s Austin, and I am a first-year FOCUS missionary at Tech. I was born and raised outside Philadelphia in Villanova, Pennsylvania. For college, I spent a year at Catholic University of America in D.C. where I played Division III Lacrosse before transferring to Tulane University in New Orleans. This is where I was met with my disciples and then missionary, Grant Preston. At the highly secular campus of Tulane, I met Christ through great leaders, strong community, and his overwhelming presence in my life. After experiencing a life-changing reversion to the faith, I desired to pay forward the work Grant had done walking with me.  “Man, who is the only creature on earth which God willed for itself, cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself”
