I am a lifelong Episcopalian and native of Baltimore, MD who first felt a calling to the priesthood at a young age while serving in the choir at Old St. Paul’s Church in Baltimore. After graduation from St. Paul’s school for boys in Baltimore, and completing my undergraduate degree at Western Maryland College (now McDaniel) I began a career in sales, with territories that took me to almost half of the United States.
In 2004 I moved to Hampton Roads to be closer to Laura, and in 2006 my lovely wife Laura and I were married. After a period of personal discernment and the strong support of my wife, I left a twenty year sales career to pursue formal discernment to ordained ministry. I returned to school in 2012 and completed my Masters of Divinity at Virginia Theological Seminary in May of 2015. I was ordained to the diaconate in June of 2015 and ordained to the priesthood in April, 2016. In my spare time, I enjoy time at the beach with Laura and our dog, woodworking, tennis and learning the Irish sport of Hurling.
