Sam edited the influential books To Save a Thousand Souls and Discerning Religious Life, and has developed many other vocation resources used in Catholic schools and parishes. Sam has degrees in English Literature and writing from Berry College and also attended Franciscan University of Steubenville. He lives in Tallahassee, FL with his wife Michele and their children and attends St. Thomas More Co-Cathedral parish.
