I was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and moved to the United States with my family when I was nearly 12. Outside of my studies, I have a passion for sports, particularly soccer. After graduating from high school, I discerned my vocation and entered religious life with the Vietnamese Redemptorists.

During my formation, I studied philosophy and theology and had the privilege of experiencing diverse cultures, including over a year in the Philippines for my novitiate, nine months in Thailand for a pastoral immersion year, and a couple of months in the Czech Republic. I find missionary life is awesome and rewarding because it allows me to travel and meet people from all walks of life. A significant moment in my spiritual journey occurred when my beloved father passed away, just months after my first profession of vows.

On May 16, 2026, I was ordained to the priesthood for the Vice-Province of Extra Patriam of the Redemptorists in Houston, TX. I am honored to begin my first assignment at the St. Thomas More Catholic Community here in Las Vegas. As a newly ordained priest, I have a mix of nervousness and excitement, but I am truly eager to serve and accompany the people on their journey of faith.

I look forward to learning and growing in this new chapter of my priestly life. Please keep me in your prayers, that I may remain faithful to Christ and the Church.
