I arrived at St. Joseph the Worker on July 1, 2021 after 5 years serving the people in four small rural towns at 13,000 feet in the Andes Mountains of Peru.  I was ordained for the Diocese of Oakland in 1993 and have been pastor at St. Leander in San Leandro (8 years) and Our Lady of Guadalupe in Fremont (12 years).  Born in 1959, I am one of eight children, and enjoy hiking, backpacking, and biking.

A Little Bit About Me:
Since July 26, 2021 I have been the Parish Secretary of Saint Joseph the Worker Church and since January, 2020 I have been the Office Manager at Saint Ambrose Church here in Berkeley as well. For the past couple of years I have been a Volunteer at Saint Ambrose with their Confirmation and First Communion Classes. I was born and raised here in the Bay Area. I love to learn about history, especially U.S. history and Chicano history. Some of my hobbies include sightseeing, traveling, and going to the movies.

Un poco de mí:
Desde el 26 de julio de 2021 he sido el Secretario Parroquial de la Iglesia de San José Obrero y desde enero de 2020 también he sido el Gerente de la Oficina de la Iglesia de San Ambrosio aquí en Berkeley. Durante los últimos años he sido voluntario en San Ambrosio con sus clases de confirmación y primera comunión. Nací y crecí aquí en el Área de la Bahía. Me encanta aprender sobre la historia, especialmente la historia de los Estados Unidos y la historia chicana. Algunos de mis pasatiempos incluyen ir de viaje, llendo a la cuidad y ir al cine.
