His research integrates Religious Studies with interdisciplinary explorations, focusing on Christian and Catholic Church history, theological/philosophical ethics, Ignatian Spirituality, and youth-focused pastoral ministry. He uniquely bridges these core areas with popular culture, film/television analysis, literary studies, philosophical inquiry, and American historical contexts, reflecting a distinctive approach to contemporary religious engagement.
Current scholarly activities include co-developing An Ignatian Spirituality Reader with Jesuit university colleagues and drafting a book on practical Christian virtues inspired by Pope Francis’ "revolution of tenderness" initiative, emphasizing actionable compassion in modern society.
