Who is Brian Greenfield...

Brian Greenfield was born and raised in Washington, DC, where he attended St. Anthony's grade school and Gonzaga High School. After graduating from Gonzaga High School in 1997, Brian traveled to New Jersey to attended Seton Hall University, majoring in Communications. While at Seton Hall, God moved powerfully in Brian's heart and life. At the suggestion of a fellow student Brian began to attend a weekly prayer meeting with other students. This prayer meeting eventually grew into a retreat ministry. The ministry was called the Twelve Apostles Program. They traveled throughout New Jersey giving the message of Jesus Christ to youth and young adults.

While leading one of these retreats Brian promised God that he would stop living for himself and he gave his life to Jesus Christ. He continued to work in youth and young adult ministry during his four years at Seton Hall, speaking at numerous youth events and youth groups. After graduating from Seton Hall with a degree in communications, Brian attended the Franciscan University of Steubenville to study theology.

While Brian was at Franciscan University he felt that God was calling him to give more of himself. He explored this calling by attending a vocations retreat with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. After returning from the retreat Brian withdrew from school and entered the Community of the Franciscans of the Renewal as a Postulant. As a postulant with the Franciscans of the Renewal, Brian lived in Harlem, served the poor, and began his formation as a Franciscan Friar. After finishing the postulancy Brian returned to Washington, DC to further discern God's call for his life.

After a brief stay in Washington, Brian returned to Seton Hall University to study theology at the Immaculate Conception School of theology. During his years at Seton Hall, Brian served as a part-time Campus Minister for the university and taught religion at Paramus Catholic High School. He also began his work with Hard as Nails.
