Principal

I have been a Catholic school principal in this Archdiocese for 31 years and am very happy and excited to have the oportunity to continue this ministry here at Holy Trinity. I believe in the importance of having a faithful, vibrant Catholic spirituality that pervades the entire life of the school, a very strong academic program featuring outstanding teachers and small classes, and an overall school environment that combines love, good discipline (respectful behavior and attitudes) and joy. My wife, Mary Kay, and I have been blessed with five wonderful children. My interests include spending time with my wife and family, walking, golf, Notre Dame football, most other sports and reading (especially theology and history).
