Fr. Dave was born on August 2, 1948 and hails from Williamsport, PA. After being inspired by a Missionary Servant priest giving a vocation talk at his home parish, Fr. Dave took his first steps toward priesthood by attending
Fr. Judge Missionary Seminary, in Monroe, Virginia, and was ordained in 1975, Fr. Dave has served as a parish priest in many missions in Louisiana, Georgia, and Mississippi. He ventured north in the 1980’s for five years to be a Formation Director in Silver Spring, Maryland, but headed south again where he has remained for many years. He has served diverse communities in the past, Bainbridge and St. Joseph in Holy Trinity, are the only ones with Hispanic Ministry. He loves  the Feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe Mass and posadas in December. No matter where he is serving, Fr. Dave feels blessed to always have the opportunity to foster a missionary spirit within the laity so that they, too, are empowered to share the Good News with others.

He is currently the pastor of St. Joseph parish in Ft. Mitchell, Alabama and St. Patrick in Phenix City, AL where together with a team of missionary priests serve in several mission outreaches of the area.
