I am a Jesuit priest and a historian of Christian religious and spiritual culture, with particular interests in the early modern Iberian world. In 2024, I earned my doctorate from Facultés Loyola Paris (formerly Centre Sèvres). 

Trained in both history and theology, my scholarship analyzes the ways that spiritual traditions have been constructed (and re-constructed) over time. My current book project – Contemplation and Conflict: Baltasar Álvarez, Teresa of Avila, and the Making of Early Jesuit Spiritual Culture – explores this process in the Society of Jesus, especially in sixteenth-century Spain.

Beginning in May 2025, I will be a visiting fellow at the Clough School of Theology and Ministry at Boston College. Previously, I served as associate vice present for mission at the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, MA). I have also taught at Loyola University Maryland, and was an associate pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church (Washington, DC).
