Originally from Toledo, Ohio, Father Nathan Cromly is living out his priestly vocation in Denver, Colorado. He is the President of the Saint John Institute, whose mission is to Raise Up Saints to Lead TM. The origins of the Saint John Institute date back to 2003 when Eagle Eye Ministries held its first retreat.

Today, the Saint John Institute is a thriving leadership institute, consisting of three different ministries. Through Eagle Eye Ministries, we inspire young adults. Through the Saint John Leadership Institute, we equip leaders in Colorado with our programs, and through the Saint John Leadership Network, we engage others throughout the United States with events and programs for families and business leaders to impact the culture.

Father Cromly is a speaker, writer, retreat leader, and avid outdoorsman. He has been a guest on EWTN and can be heard on Annunciation Radio. He offers weekly Dare Great ThingsTM podcasts; a weekly Leadership LiveTM webinar with leadership lessons from The Bible; and Glance at the Gospel, a 2-minute homily shared on EWTN radio and directly to Saint John Leadership network members. He is the author of Coached by Paul the Apostle, Lessons on Transformation, and is currently working on his second book.

Father Cromly is a traveler who likes American history, listens to classical music, and plays blues harmonica. Ordained in 2007, Father is devoted to Our Lady and has entrusted his ministry to her care.
