A native of Oklahoma, Fr. Francis entered the novitiate of the Dominican Province of St. Martin de Porres in 2009 after working in the insurance industry for three years. Fr. Francis attended Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, MI, where he studied Philosophy and Spanish and minored in Latin. He professed simple vows in 2010 and was assigned to St. Dominic Priory and Studium in St. Louis where he earned his Master of Arts in Theology in 2015 from Aquinas Institute. Fr. Francis professed solemn vows in 2013 and was ordained a priest in June 2015. His first three years as a priest, he served as the Parochial Vicar of St. Elizabeth University Parish in Lubbock, TX, and as Chaplain to Raider Catholic, the Catholic Student Center at Texas Tech University.

Covering eleven southern states, the Province of St. Martin de Porres is a growing region in need of Dominican preaching.
