Personal Life and Faith: In 2000 I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and savior ('Born Again' as Evangelicals call it) mainly inspired by the television ministry of TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) that I followed from the early 90's, but did not find any particular evangelical denomination to join. A lot of disappointments with Evangelical Christians in the TV media, and many others who called themselves Christians followed (”Surprise...we are all human, even Christians.”) At the end of 2006, I came across the TV program "The Journey home" hosted by Marcus Grodi of 'The Coming Home Network', aired on EWTN Eternal Word Television, the Global Catholic Television Network. This exciting call-in show examines why so many people from Protestants to fallen away Catholics are being drawn into the Catholic Church. They discuss their personal conversion stories and how a specific teaching of the Catholic Church or experience influenced their Decision. This program had a strong spiritual impact on me, and challenged my evangelical based Faith (Jesus and me and Solar Scriptura). I started to research the roman catholic church, the early church fathers, origin of catholicism, the 'universal' church. In particular inspired by outstanding teaching programs on EWTN , my wife and I decided to ‘come home’ to the Catholic Church. This year (2011) February 11 we received first communion at St. Stanislaus Oratory, Milwaukee (Fr. Olivier Meney) ! "As a Christian who takes his faith and revelations serious, to join the Roman Catholic Church was a result and necessary consequence of what I had learned about the origin, the teachings and what the Catholic Church offers. " 2009 - 2011: Early 2009 my wife and I left Los Angeles (Thanks be to God) and moved to Wisconsin, where I served a long term client for commercial web clip productions. Since then I develop & produce a lot Catholic Faith based short form series that broadcast via EWTN , Catholic TV, and Telecare TV, as well as documentaries (short and long form) for Non Profit Organizations, particularly in the field of homelessness. I recently finished a 4 part short form TV series “What’s Inside a Catholic Church”. Also I completed “Called - The Postulant”, a 30 minute dramatic TV documentary about MJ, a young man who felt called to the priesthood, to be aired soon via EWTN and other Catholic media systems.
