Hello, I came to Holy Spirit in 2007. This is my 14th year of priesthood, having been ordained in June of 2001. This is my second pastorate. I was a late calling to the priesthood, having been ordained at age 51. I attended seminary at Sacred Heart School of Theology, a second-career vocation seminary in Hales Corners WI. I grew up in Dearborn MI and came from a small family. Mom, dad, and a brother Gary. I am a product of 12 years of Catholic Education but he idea of becoming a priest never occurred to me until I was 40 years old. I have two cats that help keep me company up in the rectory. Aside from that I have a small boat and a kayak that provide for some recreation
