I spent the first 28 years of my life in Niagara Falls.  I was one of those kids that had no idea what I should do when I grew up.  I attended a local community college as a liberal arts major.  I eventually received my BA from Niagara University in Elementary Education and Social Studies.  After some graduate work on my masters in education; I finally answered the call to go to seminary and enrolled at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus, OH.  The constant though it all was my music.  I love to sing and play organ and piano.  My first church was on one of the beautiful Finger Lakes in Skaneateles.  I began my ministry at Good Shepherd in March of 2007. 

I have a wonderful son named Lucas, who is a first grader at Pashley Elementary. 

My favorite movies

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory… I love the Oompa Loompas

Young Frankenstein  … love the scene and line: “Put the Candle back”

Love presidential and white house history

What personality traits in others do I admire? 

Curiosity, openness, ability to laugh at themselves and others.

My greatest hope for Good Shepherd

That we fully trust God and open ourselves up to the endless possibilities that are before us.
