About
I'm a husband, father, deacon, and leader - not necessarily in that order on any given day, but always all at once.
Everything I do flows from who I am, and I've never been very good at keeping the different parts of life in separate boxes.
Family
I've been married to Suzanne for 21 years. We have four sons: Thomas, Matthew, Joseph, and Andrew. We're a Catholic family rooted in the St. Louis area - Suzanne is the Development Director at Father McGivney Catholic High School, and together we co-founded Phil44, a limited-edition apparel brand inspired by Philippians 4:4.
Vocation
I was ordained a permanent deacon in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois on June 26, 2021. The diaconate shapes everything I do - it's not a side project or a weekend role, but the lens of servant through which I see my work, my writing, and my life.
I write here every week about faith, family, work, and life. I also send out Wednesday @ Lunch, a weekly email reflection that lands in your inbox around lunchtime on Wednesdays.
Work
I've spent 30 years in media, marketing, technology, and consulting leadership, including nearly 18 years at Adobe, most recently leading a 100+ person global team. I left Adobe in May 2026 to focus full-time on the work I believe I was made for.
Work in the Back Half
I'm building several things now, all consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on Christ the King Sunday of 2025.
Domus Formation - a Catholic media company producing daily prayer formation for households across every stage of life, in English and Spanish. Eight prayer paths for families, men, women, elders, young adults, teens, and Spanish-speaking households. Plus Deacon Life for permanent deacons, Parish Prayers for clergy, and Emmaus Disciples for evangelization.
Ad Alta Leadership - vocational discernment and formation for Catholic entrepreneurs, ministry founders, and creatives. Ad Alta Weekly newsletter, The Workshop (launching Q4 2026), An Hour at the Bench for focused consulting, and The Table - a regional Catholic community launching in Springfield in September 2026.
Lux Perpetua - Catholic serial fiction. Ordo: A Chronicle of Lux Perpetua launched at Easter 2026. Plus Two Lamps, a weekly Catholic short story series.
Advisory & Speaking - advising Catholic institutions on the systems, journeys, and technologies that carry their mission. Currently including work with the Foundation for the People of the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois.

Consecration
All of my work is consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, made on Christ the King Sunday of 2025 following a novena. Every business, every project, every effort belongs first to Him.
Cor Iesu Sacratissimum, miserere nobis.
