about me

In 2004 David had a personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ that moved him from the column of Agnostic to Protestant-Christian and later to Catholic-Christian. On August 8th, 2006 he was confirmed into the Catholic Church, wpdlg

taking Saint Joseph as his Patron Saint. In 2007 he was moved by the Spirit of God to take the new spiritual name ‘Yoseph Miryam Daviyd’ (דוד יוסף – meaning: God will add to or increase His beloved/prince) and has called himself by that name ever since.

David L. Gray was born and raised in Warren, Ohio, graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in 1991, earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Accounting and Management from Central State University (Wilberforce, Ohio) in 1997, and studied for a Master of Arts in Management at McGregor Antioch University (Yellow Springs, Ohio). Today he is pursuing a Master of Arts in Theology and Christian Ministry from Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio) while he continues to discern and embrace his call to the ministry of John the Waymaker (the Baptist) by pointing people to Jesus the Lord through the lenses of the Catholic Church.

David L. Gray is a Catholic Dad to three beautiful daughters, and now lives in Warren, Ohio. He is a parishioner of St. Dominic’s Catholic Church in Youngstown, Ohio. In 2010 David founded DavidLGray.INFO, which was then incorporated in 2012.
