About John

I was born and raised in Kenya, the second of seven children. In Kenya, I was involved in many aspects of my Catholic faith and it is where I began my vocation as a retreat and workshop presenter. I was a leader of 'Young Christian Students' (YCS), a leader of a Small Christian Community group; served in Catholic youth leadership; and was a member of VIDES Kenya, a volunteer organization that served underprivileged children in the Nairobi area.

​

I began speaking when I was in high school, and I realized God gave me a gift to evangelize, to inspire, and to help people experience the joy of the Gospel. When I saw many Catholics being afraid and unsure of how to share their faith, I wanted to help, to defend, and become more engaged in our faith, talking about it with people and sharing my testimony of what God has done in my life.

​

I came to the US in 2012 to pursue my dreams, not knowing where life would take me. Today, my wife Katie and I have three beautiful sons, Joey, Caleb, and Leo. I've also been able to continue my speaking ministry to inspire people to live their faith with gratitude and enthusiasm.

I am a fourth-degree member of the Knights of Columbus and a lector at my parish, St. John Chrysostom in Wallingford, Pennsylvania. I also serve as a Catholic life coach and I am a certified DISC consultant, motivational speaker, and leadership trainer through the John Maxwell Team.

I enjoy spending time with my family, scripture studies, teaching leadership, reading, and gardening.
