Home Parish: Sacred Heart, Manassas, VA

I was born on December 30, 1947 in Alexandria, VA where I attended St Rita’s School and finally finished 8th grade at St Thomas More school in Arlington, Va. I graduated High School at Wakefield in Arlington, VA in 1967, and was drafted, and joined the US Marines, served 3 years. I spent a tour in Southeast Asia, and returned to the states in 1969, where I stationed at the Marine Barracks, 8th & I St., Wash, D.C.

In 1969 I met Linda who is a native of White Marsh Maryland, who also served in the US Marines and stationed at HQ Marine Corps, Arlington, VA where we met and married Feb 7, 1970. We have been married for 38 years.

After serving in the Marines I joined the US Air Force and retired July 1, 1989. I’m currently a Police Officer with US Capitol Police where I’m assigned to Plain Clothes, and conduct Physical Security Surveys, Risk Assessments, and Vulnerability Assessments for US Congress/Senate on and off the Hill. I’m retiring May 31, 2009.

I currently sit on the Parish Council and I’m an Extra Ordinary Minister of Eucharist at Sacred Heart Parish in Manassas, VA.
