            I began teaching in 1976 at Madonna High School in Weirton.  I came to Wheeling Central in 1986.  I am delighted to say that I have spent 26 of my 36 years in education at Central.  Five of my six childrren have graduated from Central and God willing, my youngest will be a Maroon Knight and graduate come the year 2020.  In 1999, I took the responsibility of being the school Campus Minister and I am blessed to work with great students and a talented and deeply religious staff to create a faith filled spiritual environment where we can all grow as the People of God.

            I have served on a variety of committees for the Diocese and have also served on a parish school board in the early 1980's and 1990's.  I am a member of the Wheeling Area Serra Club which promotes vocations to the priesthood and religious life.  I am also a member of Corpus Christi Parish Knights of Columbus.  The Knights are committed to serving both the Church and the community.

             My wife Carole and I have been married for 34 wonderful years.
