My wife, Paula, and I joined in 1993, when St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish was gathering in the warehouse for worship.  We've been blessed to serve in many of the parish ministries. Paula works as a registered nurse at Oncology Associates at Mercy.   

We have two daughters, who are both married. Julie and Tyler live in Elmhurst, IL with their two daughters. Lisa and Dustin live in Marion, IA with their one daughter and one on the way.

I was ordained a deacon in July 2013.  My personal ministries include the Hospital, Care Center and Homebound Communion ministry and the Fresh Start Jail Ministry.

As Coordinator of Operations, I have the opportunity to help our parish operate as efficiently and productively as possible as we strive to be good stewards of all that we have been blessed with in this parish.  

I am also excited to be working with the staff on the implementation of a new tool called ParishStaq.  This new tool will help all of us, not just the staff, better connect and communicate with one another as we all strive to help each other grow in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ.
