Knights Of Columbus - Council #4160

4th Degree

As of May 2018, 4th Degree Knight.  Transferred from Bishop Grady Council 5618, Altamonte Springs, FL after moving to Doylestown in July 2016.  Originally from Norristown, and my wife Christine from Collegeville.  Prior to moving to central Florida in 2004, we had lived in Ardmore for 16 years.  We have seven children, most in the Phillly area, and seven grandchildren.  Retired from a federal government agency. Enjoy being with family, grandkids sports, golf, walking and some biking, some fly fishing,  family ancestry, and some very amateur photography. 

I joined the Knights of Columbus in 2009.  I am hoping to work with the Knights to give back to the community that has been so good to me and my family.  I have been been blessed with a beautiful wife and 3 wonderful kids. 

I joined the Knights in November of 2000, three months after I returned from 14 years in Belgium.  My first Council, Ramapo Valley Council 5846 in Oakland, NJ is a very active Council with approximately 140 members.  Joining the Knights at that time was indeed an act of Divine Providence as it was a very difficult period for me.  Outside Guard, Recorder, Chancellor and Grand Knight are the positions I have held thus far.

As with anything else in life, you only get out of it what you put into it.  Joining the Knights is truly a highlight of my life.  If God grants me a way of imparting my love for the Knights on other Catholic men then our ranks are sure to grow.
