He has been the Chaplain for two police departments, and the Chaplain of the Baltimore City Fire Department and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms.
“My time as chaplain of the alumni association has been very rewarding. If I was elected president of the Alumni Association I would look forward to continuing the work of Pat Goles and the officers of the association these last several years. A great deal of work went into the strategic plan and I would want to see that we continue to be guided by this plan in the next 3-5 years. In particular I am so pleased to see so many young alums who have assumed leadership positions recently. I am also very pleased to see the continued efforts to connect the college and seminary, I feel much progress has been made and would look forward to finding new and innovative ways to see the university as “one house”. I love the Mount and will serve her faithfully no matter what position I hold. It is simply an honor to be nominated.”
