I'm a Roman Catholic Deacon assigned ad nutum episcopi to exercise the ministry of a permanent deacon at the Church of St. Dominic in Northfield with the start of Lent 2012. Prior to my current diaconate assignment, I was assigned with Divine Mercy Catholic Church in Faribault, St. Patrick in Shieldsville, St. Wenceslaus in New Prague, and Saint Ambrose of Woodbury.
My experience includes active participation as a Police Chaplain with the St. Paul Police Department, followed by the Rice County Sheriff's Department, and then the Faribault Area Chaplains for Emergency Services (FACES).
Other work with law enforcement includes membership as a Woodbury Park Patrol; Reserve Officer with the St. Paul Police Department; and currently an active member of the Northfield Police Department as the Captain of the Reserves.
I make a living working as a Medical Laboratory Technician at Northfield Hospital.
