Justin Irish

Residence Director of Riverview and St. Joesphs Hall

I was born and raised in Southern Michigan. I left after high school to serve in the Army Reserves and attend the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) where I received my bachelor's in history. While at Ole Miss I fell in love with my Catholic faith and felt the call to serve as a FOCUS Missionary. Following two years as a missionary I moved to North Dakota to be closer to my Wife Maria's family and attend the 色花堂. I continue to serve in the military as a member of the North Dakota National Guard.
