Why Saint Thomas Academy? I started at Saint Thomas Academy in the fall of 1971 as a student playing football, basketball and baseball. My father was a graduate in 1947 and we are going on the fourth generational now. STA has been foundational in most of my life experiences.

We found a home in Mendota Heights to send our kids to STA and Vis. We all have established enduring life-long relationships here and the leadership experiences are second to none.

A fun fact about yourself: I have just finished my 43rd year of officiating football at the high school and collegiate level. Started the Middle School hockey program in 1994.

Family: My wife Cici and I have three adult children; RJ ’00, Charlie ’03 and Andria (CDH) ’06. and four grandkids.
