Father went to the parish grade school in St. Boni, graduated from Winsted Holy High School, and has a degree in Mathematics from Saint John’s University in Collegeville. He spent the next ten years working in the computer field as a system software specialist. In 1988, he entered The Saint Paul Seminary, studying for the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, and was ordained on May 30, 1992.
About every other year, Father leads a group on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land or Italy. He likes hiking, sports, reading on a variety of subjects, and travel (he’s been to each of the 48 continental states and 23 countries!) He particularly enjoys baseball and still plays in an over-50 league.
