I was born in San Antonio and went to Catholic schools until my junior year of high school. I graduated St Mary's University in 1974. I married Theresa Pacheco in 1980 and was ordained a Deacon in 1985. Theresa and I had three children and four grandchildren. She passed away in 2021. I felt God calling me in August 2022. August 2023, I entered the seminary and was ordained May 2025.

I want to be a holy, happy priest and bring Jesus to everyone I meet. I'm very impressed by St. Francis and really look forward to serving you.
