My Motivation

I want to grow God's Kingdom using the talents He’s given me. Our mission is to bring as many people to Christ as we can, and as The Bridge continues to grow, I’m excited to use my skills to help foster that growth and fulfill our mission.

My Background

Before working at The Bridge, I worked in financial planning & analysis for the commercial team at Medline, a large medical device supplier based in Northfield. Prior to Medline, I spent a big portion of my career as a Portfolio Manager for a large wealth management firm based in Deerfield. I attended Loyola University where I met my wife, Melanie, and we have two daughters.

My Spiritual Journey

I grew up Catholic but never had a relationship with Christ. My wife and I started coming to The Bridge in the fall of 2022 after being invited by one of my wife's coworkers. When our daughter was hospitalized with RSV in the winter of 2023, I surrendered my life to Christ and put my full trust and faith in Him. It was during that time that I knew I couldn't try to keep control over my life; I had to give it all to God. After our daughter made a full recovery, my wife and I got baptized together, started serving, and haven't looked back.

One More Thing

I was born in Ireland and hold dual citizenship!
