Ohio State University, B.S. in Electrical Engineering (1977)

What do you do here at St. John's?
I'm the assistant organist here, so I'm involved mostly in traditional worship, plus some weddings and funerals. I also direct the Occasional Choir.

When did you begin working here?
1984

What is your favorite food?
Mama Roma's meatball sandwich is pretty tough to beat. Just about anything else Italian too! Or a nice teriyaki steak. You can hold the broccoli, cauliflower, or asparagus though. Was God having a bad day when he made these?

What was your first job?
Pizza Hut in Toledo, Ohio. My first real job was as an electrical engineer after I graduated from college.

What is one thing you can't live without?
I'm a computer addict, and my complete CD collection is on my iPod too, so I'd have a tough time without that. But my wife and kids are what really make my world go 'round!

If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
I love sailing, so someday I want to spend some time doing that in the British Virgin Islands. I also enjoy seeing cathedrals and organs around the world when I travel. Notre-Dame and Chartres rock!
