| Introduction | I was born May 27, 1970 and I am an only child. My initial home was Kansas City, Kansas, but I grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. The call to priesthood came when I was seven years old. I continued to discern that call throughout my teenage and young adult years. I graduated from high school in 1989. Graduated from the college seminary in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts in English. I went into the major seminary where I graduated with a Master of Divinity degree in 1997. Subsequently, I was ordained on May 31, 1997 at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Hays, Kansas. My first assignment was at Seven Dolors in Manhattan (1997-99). I was transferred to Immaculate Heart of Mary in Hays (1999-2004). My first pastorate was at St. Wenceslaus Church in Wilson, Kansas with missions in Dorrance and Holyrood (2004-09). The next pastoral move was to the parishes of Washington County- Hanover, Greenleaf, and Washington (2009-present). |
