I was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I graduated from Marquette High School in 1952.  That same year I entered the Jesuits at Florissant, Missouri.  I was ordained in 1965. 

For 25 years, from 1972-1997, I was a hospital chaplain at several hospitals in the Midwest.  The last 12 of those years
were at St. Joseph Hospital here in Omaha. 
 

I have benefited very much from the reflections written by others here at Creighton, and I am very glad to add my own reflections.  Putting my reflections on paper helps me to focus my thoughts and prayers on the readings of the day, and is a good addition to my own spiritual life.
