I was born in Worcester, Massachusetts and was
educated in public and private schools, both in Worcester and Hyde Park, New
York.
I was an active Roman Catholic priest and was
eventually married in the Catholic Church with papal permission. I am still
involved with my parish church as a Eucharistic minister, lector and choir
member.
While in the ministry I taught full time at
St. Peter’s High School as a religion teacher and eventually headmaster.
After I left the ministry I remained an educational administrator working in
Florida and Massachusetts.
My wife and I were married for 31
years before she passed away a few years ago and she enjoyed working with me
in our meetings with soon-to-be married couples. I hope that my experiences
as a husband, grandfather, and counselor can be of help to engaged couples
in developing strategies for a successful marriage.
I have performed over 240 weddings
as a Justice.
