He entered the Seminary for Priestly Formation in Colombia when he was sixteen years old. He studied Philosophy and Theology, then he left the Seminary in 2013 looking for other opportunities and to discern better his vocation to priesthood.
He came to the United States in 2015 to study English as a Second Language at Rutgers University and to continue his discerment answering to God's Call.
