My Story

My family moved to Ottawa from Germany in 1963 and I have lived here ever since. I attended Our Lady of Fatima and St.Joseph High School. After post secondary I worked in High Tech in the Silicon Valley of the North for 33 years. I am married to Sutherland and we have three children, Alexandra, Roman and Saul.

As you can see I was born and raised Catholic, however, it wasn’t until 1992 that I encountered the Lord at a prayer meeting or at the very least heard His voice calling. I have been listening to Him ever since. 

I have been at St.George’s for longer than I can remember. After working in High Tech for so long I was grateful to the Lord to be working at St.George’s working for His Highest. As Operations Manager I have my fingers busy doing many things. I am so happy to be part of St.George’s and look forward to meeting and getting to know more of you better.
