| Introduction | I'm a Catholic freelance writer who has published more than 100 articles on Vatican II and the liturgy, pro-life and religious liberty issues, American politics, and other topics in print and online publications such as Inside the Vatican, Catholic365, Intellectual Conservative, and OpEdNews. I'm also a classical pianist, composer/arranger and occasional recording artist. I served as music minister and liturgical assistant at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Lexington, Virginia, from 2016 to 2025 and am currently Director of Music at Saint John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Waynesboro, Virginia. I'm a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus with Richard F. Cayo Council #11557 in Lexington, Virginia, and Roanoke Asembly #1167 in Roanoke, Virginia. In my spare time I enjoy playing the piano, fishing, amateur astronomy, the Andy Griffith Show or a good movie. |
