I am very happy to be joining the Pastorate of Our Lady of the Chesapeake and St. Jane Frances!  I'm excited to be supporting Fr. Steve and all our staff in caring for and bringing together these two wonderful worshipping communities as a pastorate. 

I am originally from Timonium, MD and moved back there about 10 years ago. I have been blessed to serve in different places and ministries for over 30 years, as both a volunteer and professional.  This includes as a volunteer, youth minister, and campus minister at St. Marys in Annapolis, as a youth minister at St. Jane Frances in the mid-1990's, and as a pastoral council, committee member,  and catechist at St. Ann's in Bethany Beach, DE.  I have served youth training programs in both the Diocese of Wilmington and the Archdiocese of Balitmore, as well as working for the Archdiocese as Director of the Msgr. O'Dwyer Retreat House and in Pastoral Planning.  I have also served as a volunteer at my home parish, Church of the Nativity, in Student Programs, Small Groups, in mission work, and supported the Rebuilt Parish ministry.

My wife Stephanie and I will celebrate our 30^th anniversary in December 2023 and we are the proud parents of 2 sons in their early 20's - James and John.  I am the youngest of 3 children  - my mom passed away in 2013, and my dad is 101 and living at Mercy Ridge in Timonium. 

I like to be on the move and try to walk at least 3 miles every day, and get outside as often as possible.  Though I don't find the time to do it as much as I would like, I enjoy bike riding, camping, snow skiing, boating, and getting to the beach.

I would be very grateful for your prayers, as we all work together to deepen our faith and help even more people come to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ.
