I was born in New Orleans and grew up in Kenner and Metairie. St. Angela Merici is my home parish. I graduated from St. John Prep, St. Joseph Seminary College, and Notre Dame Seminary. After being ordained in 1990 I served as parochial vicar as St. Edward the Confessor Parish in Metairie. Over the years I served in a number of other parishes as well including as pastor at Holy Name of Mary Parish in Algiers and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish in Kenner. In 2008 I returned to St. Edward’s as pastor. I have also served in several offices with the Archdiocese.
