Bill is currently the Director of Youth Ministry and Religious Education. He grew up in Hays, Kansas, where he graduated from Hays High School. He is twice a graduate of Fort Hays State University with degrees in Health and Human Performance and Education. Bill's passion for teaching religion started when he began to help his mother teach her 3rd grade Wednesday night CCD class at the age of sixteen. He found out quickly that he loved teaching others about the faith. Bill has taught religion at some level ever since that day. He has been a parish religion teacher, CYO/Jr. CYO leader, Director of Religious Education for a parish, and Director of Campus Ministry/Religion teacher for a Catholic School. Bill has been married to his amazing wife Mandy for 13 years. They are blessed to have three wonderful children-Thomas , Andrew and Emma. He is very excited to get this opportunity to work with our young people and the many great people working hard to bring our faith to the next generation.
