Evangelization. Re-Imagined.

IMbeggar is about finding new, different, creative, positive, entertaining, hard-hitting, and most importantly, accessible ways to talk about God (without being preachy, judge-y, didactic, sappy or boring… we hope). Whether you are part of the choir, on the fringe, angry-annoyed-fallen away, still searching, or just struggling to figure it all out like the rest of us… you’re in the right place. We ask the questions we all ask, address the obstacles we all face, and present an opportunity to re-consider, or maybe even re-discover, God. The door is open, the choice is yours.

Welcome to IMbeggar. It’s not what you think.

About me

Born and raised Catholic, by the time I hit grade nine, faith meant little or nothing to me, by college, it was gone. After college I worked in Los Angeles for many years, with some success, in many industries including: design, toy, video games, and TV animation; and for just about every major studio. A young man with money to burn, I lived my life totally for myself. It took me to finally have everything I thought I always wanted, to realize, something was still missing.

It wasn’t until a series of fine-tuned events, the endless prayers of my parents, the loss of the one most dear to me, and living in that relentless tension of: I am miserable on the inside, but everything appears to be just fine on the outside, that I found myself back in church one Easter Sunday. And with a smack in the face of reality, a love affair began.

The rest is a history that led me to leave California and drive three days across the country from Las Vegas to enter a Catholic seminary in Queens NY.  

There I lived, worked, prayed, and studied in community with countless priests, religious, seminarians and friends, from every part of the globe, from every background, and from every culture. However, the closer ordination came to me, the more I felt a big part of me was left alone collecting dust: the part that loves the creative process, the drawing, the animation, the wrestling with an idea, and the joy of bringing it to life.    

So I married the two loves together, and IMbeggar is the baby.  And I’ve given everything to this baby.
