Gus, a Colorado Catholic, holds degrees in theology from Santa Clara University and Boston College. Originally planning to pursue doctoral work in Patristic and Byzantine ressourcement within Catholicism, he decided to make a greater (and more stressful) difference by teaching high school theology. The former editor of Boston College's graduate theology journal, his writing has previously appeared in America magazine. In teaching at Regis Jesuit High School, he hopes to at once expose his students to theology that they would not encounter otherwise, and produce theological insights rooted in his own students' questions of God.
