Our family has been parishioners at St. Raphael since 2004. My wife Jocelyn and I have been blessed with four wonderful children who graduated from Saint Raphael Catholic School (SRCS): Alex 2008, Laney 2012, Aiden 2017, and Anna 2023.

I served as Chair of the Pastoral Council from 2018 - 2020. When our children were at SRCS, I served as Chair of the School Council and coached the boys and girls soccer teams.

Professionally, I lead the Global Research business unit for a medical device company based in the UK and RTP. I am responsible for the P&L and global strategy. I held multiple leadership positions in the Life Sciences and am an expert in commercial team development, commercial go-to-market operations, product launches, ops turnarounds, and customer strategy work.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my family and playing tennis. I also serve on the Board at the Raleigh Racquet Club and Raleigh Tennis Association to grow tennis in our communities. A little-known fact about me is that when I worked for a Croatian multinational pharmaceutical company, I learned to speak a bit of Croatian "dobar dan."

I am most looking forward to helping the Pastoral Council develop a vision of what our Parish wants to be and a mission for how we will get there. I am also excited about the strategic planning work to make the vision and mission a reality for our parishioners in their faith journey.
