I was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio. I attended St. Mark’s grade school. I graduated from St. Edward High School in Lakewood, Ohio. I graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College with a B.A. in Business Administration.
I married Margee on December 30, 1971. We have three wonderful children: Tara, Justin, and Emily and seven beautiful grandchildren. I spent thirty years at Ohio Bell/AT&T/SBC and retired in May, 2001. We moved into Olmsted Falls and became parishioners at St. Mary's in 1977. It is here at St. Mary of The Falls that we have raised our family and enriched our faith life. After much encouragement from friends, family, and priests who were involved in my life, I entered the seminary in the Cleveland Diocese in 1996 to pursue training and formation as a Permanent Deacon. I was ordained, May 13, 2000 by Bishop Anthony Pilla for service in the Diocese of Cleveland. Today, I am enjoying ministry at the parish as well as working at the Tribunal for the Diocese of Cleveland. My favorite things to do: Spend time with Margee and family; Play Texas Holdem; Tear up a golf course; and play guitar.
