My Story
I was born and raised in Milwaukee, the second of nine children. I entered the seminary as a freshman in high school and was ordained as a Priest in 1967. I obtained a degree in Psychology at UW Parkside and studied Counseling Psychology at Loyola University. I served as a priest at various parishes in Southeast Wisconsin, and taught high school Psychology, Religion, Latin and English for over ten years. I also served the Hispanic Ministry for Kenosha and Racine counties. After retiring in 2010, I have enjoyed serving as a senior priest at St. Mark. I enjoy walking with my Yorkie, Mocha, the computer, cooking & baking, gardening and reading in my spare time. And I am honored to serve the people of St. Mark.
