SUMMARY

After a career of three decades in software engineering and consulting, concurrent with extensive involvement at both the parochial and diocesan levels, my vocation to the priesthood could no longer be denied.  Six years of discernment and formation later, I was ordained to the Transitional Deaconate and Priesthood in 2007.
