I am a proud member of the class of 2006. While at Cathedral, I played three years of Varsity football, was a three-year letterman on the track team, and rounded out my education with several art courses and the school play.
I come from a long line of Cathedral graduates. My father (’74) was a teacher and coach at the school, my brothers Mario (’98) and Matthew (’02) continued a heritage that dated back decades and included uncles, cousins, great-uncles, and more. I spent most of my childhood years at Fighting Irish sporting events and was very happy to continue that tradition.

After high school, I attended New York University where I studied Film & Television at the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts. From there I chose to continue my education at UCLA, where I pursued my Master’s degree in the School of Theater, Film, and Television’s Producers Program. I have since held numerous posts with world-renown entertainment companies, including the BBC and the Walt Disney Company.

I currently work as a Production Coordinator for ABC Studios, where I am part of an amazing team that administers production of the company’s TV shows. Most of the virtues that help me thrive in my position – honor, respect, culpability – are values that we stressed heavily by the teachers and administration at Cathedral and have served me very well in the professional world. I truly do believe myself blessed to have been a part of something as exceptional as Cathedral High School.

“What are you proudest of?”
I am always proud to hear the amazing things my friends and fellow alumni have gone on to accomplish after leaving the school. We have representatives across the world; leaders in technology, politics, and everything in between, and it always brings me great pride to say, “that’s a Cathedral man.”

“What lesson from Cathedral do you carry with you?” 
Irish Standard. When you’re in school, you think it’s just a day you must wear uncomfortable clothes. When you’re in the real world, you realize it was a lesson: in your work, and in your life, and in your dress – you set the bar. You are the leader not the member. You set the standard the rest of your peers must meet.

“Do you have a message (lesson/observation) for a current Cathedral student?”
High school is very brief, but its one of the most special experiences you will have in your life. Enjoy every minute of it. You’ll have the rest of your life to be troubled with the real world. Live it up.
