I was born on May 1, 1968 in Flushing, New York to Italian Irish parents with 3 older sisters and a younger brother. I was educated by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood Long Island, the Franciscan Brothers of Brooklyn for high school education and the Vincentians for college. I entered the college Seminary in 1988.
In 1990 I moved to Florida with my parents and transferred to the Seminary studying for the Diocese of St. Petersburg. I was ordained a priest May 20, 1995 and was assigned to Holy Family in St. Petersburg. While there I was a Master of Ceremony years taught freshmen and juniors at St. Petersburg Catholic High School.
For the last five years I was the associate at St. Stephen in Valrico in Southeast Hillsborough County. While there I was the parish Director of Liturgy and School Chaplain. During my time at St. Stephen I also taught 5th and 6th grade math honors and religion for 3rd through 6th grades.
I am looking forward to being back in Pinellas and serving St. Patrick Catholic Church and School.
