| Introduction | I am husband and Dad to six lovely children. I am also a Roman Catholic deacon of the Diocese of Salt Lake City. I married in 1993, became a Dad for the first time in 1994 and most recently in 2011 (quite a spread). I was was ordained in 2004. After serving as a deacon for 11 years at The Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City (8 years before I was ordained for a total of 19 years), I am now assigned to St Olaf Parish in Bountiful, Utah. I am a graduate of the University of Utah and the Institute in Pastoral Ministry at St. Mary's University of Minnesota. Most recently, I earned a Doctorate in Ministry (D.Min) at Mount Angel Seminary, Oregon. Along with 5 classmates, I was privileged to be a member of the first D.Min class at the seminary. In addition to serving in parish ministry, I serve as Director of the Office of the Diaconate for the Diocese of Salt Lake City. In this capacity I serve my bishop by serving my fellow deacons and their wives as well as having charge of forming new deacons. |

If you drive on a parkway why don't they make the whole plane out of that?
Along with George Carlin, I'm not sure why we drive on parkways and park on driveways.
