It is an honor to serve all of you in Lima for our Lord Jesus Christ. I served for five years at Tiffin St. Mary’s as an associate pastor with well known Lima native Fr. David Ross. Prior to Tiffin, I was ordained. My seminary training was in downtown Detroit, Michigan at Sacred Heart Major Seminary for six years. One year was spent in Fargo, North Dakota at Cardinal Muench Seminary. Before entering seminary at age 26, I completed a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, worked for GM in the now dissolved Cadillac Luxury Car Division in Flint, Michigan, and cooped at numerous manufacturing corporations including the once entitled Lima BP Chemicals. The first time I came to Lima was for the coop 17 years ago and, at that time, never expected to return. God had other plans.
