Hello parishioners of Christ the King! I’m so excited to start my new assignment with you in July. I lived in all four US time zones as a young man, but my wife and I have now lived in Denver for 27 years. We attended St Ignatius Loyola for 8 years and then Good Shepherd for 16 years prior to joining Christ the King. Laura and I have a son Luke (22) and a daughter Carly (20). My education and background in engineering (environmental, transportation, and facility management) served me well, but I eventually gravitated towards jobs in City administration and “city-building”. After completing 25 years at the City of Denver, I retired last year. My primary hobby is cycling - road biking and gravel adventures. And, my wife and I both love to travel. Most notably, we organized a pilgrimage to Mexico City in 2023 with some friends from the Seminary to visit the Basilica of Our Lady Of Guadalupe. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and serving the community in any way I can. God bless!
