After 37 years in the medical laboratory diagnostics market working in tech support, applications and sales, I have retired from industry and changed roles to full time ministry. I was ordained a Deacon in the Catholic Church in September of 2013, a role I performed on weekends and evenings as needed. I have now accepted a position as a full time Pastoral Associate at a vibrant parish community.

I perform hospital rounds at least once per week for pastoral visits to Catholic patients and some non-Catholic patients. I have launched a bereavement ministry. I manage social media for the parish and also develop evangelization efforts. I will help to teach adult formation.
