I was born and raised on the West side of Chicago. After grade school I spent 6 ½ years in the seminaries of the Divine Word Missionaries in East Troy Wisconsin and Epworth Iowa. I met my wife a few years after I left the seminary and we had three children 2 boys and a girl. My wife died in 2005.

     I worked for the different names of Illinois Bell, AT&T, and SBC for 31 ½ years and then followed that by teaching computer concepts to senior citizens for 14 years. I have a Masters Degree in Information Systems from Roosevelt University.

    I was ordained by Cardinal George in 2007 and have served at St Stephen for 15 years. I look forward to serving the people of our new parish St Mary and St Stephen Protomartyr. May God continue to bless us and lead us to many new and exciting times.
