my ancestry

I've been researching and writing about my family history for over two decades. It's all on my family history website. I am mostly French, having strong roots through Quebec back into the area of Rouen in northern France. It's along these branches of my family tree that you'll find Pope Leo XIV, my 9th cousin, once removed. I also have significant Belgian and Norwegian roots.

If you travel the branches of my tree, you'll find many interesting people with whom I share a bloodline, like Madonna and Glenn Frey, both my 8th cousin twice removed. You'll find my 10th cousins Dan Aykroyd and Beyoncé Knowles and my 11th cousin Matt LeBlanc.

According to one source, these are the homes of my ancestors:

40% northwestern Europe (Belgium, England)
26% France
15% Scotland
14% Norway
2% Sweden
2% European Jewish
1% Indigenous American (North America)

Yeah, Pope Leo XIV and I are 9th cousins once removed. Read all about how I figured it out and how we're related over on my family history website.

professional bio

I've had an incredible and perhaps somewhat unlikely career. After earning a degree in Police Science, I spent 10 years in the hospitality industry where I worked for four Holiday Inn hotels in three U.S. states as well as the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, where I held four management roles. I learned some significant lessons on how to anticipate guests' needs, meet them, and most often exceed them. And, I had an absolute blast working at the Happiest Place On Earth!

My path then took an unlikely turn when I went to work at the tech help desk of a company that developed and sold hotel computer systems in Santa Ana. The technical and creative parts of my brain were so stimulated that I went back to college and earned a degree in Computer Science. What followed was a 30 year career in I.T. where I worked for three companies, ending with 17 years at St. Norbert College in De Pere, from which I retired in 2021.

The common thread throughout my career was my ability to excel at customer service. I applied concepts such as design thinking using tools like journey maps and personas; I not only lived these methods but I taught them to my team, giving us as a group an expert-level knowledge in how to serve people, no matter the product or industry.

Now in my retirement years, I'm relaxing a bit and spending most of my time on Rosary-related activities. I make custom rosaries, I repair rosaries, and I host a weekly Rosary podcast called the Rosary Garden.
