I was born and raised in Lockport, NY. 

I am an honorably discharged U.S. Army veteran with six years of service.   I worked for 14 years as an automotive service advisor at the former Don Davis Honda car dealership. 

Also I worked at St. Patrick Parish in Lockport as business manager and spiritual life director.  I was ordained a permanent deacon in 2005, and was subsequently Ordained to the priesthood in 2019 after earning a Master of Divinity degree from the former Christ the King seminary in East Aurora, NY.
