I was born on October 7, 1966 (the feast day of Our Lady of the Rosary) here in Cincinnati.  I grew up as a parishioner at St. Bartholomew down the road and went to grade school there as well.  I went on to St. Xavier High School and Xavier University where I received my degree in Theology in 1989. 

I married my wife Lisa in July of 1990.  We have two daughters Samantha (Sam) and Danielle.  Sam graduated from Miami University and Danielle attends Mercy McAuley High School. I started at OLR as the Youth Minister in 1985 first as a volunteer and then as a part of the full time staff starting in 1990.  In July of 2003 my job expanded, I then became the Director of Religious Education as well.  As of July 2014 I became the Youth Faith Formation Director for the Winton Wyoming Pastoral Region. This has been a challenging new arena; which I am enjoying very much.  In my free time I enjoy reading, spending time with my family and of course, riding my bike.
