I founded Ministry Development Group in 1997 to assist Catholic Evangelists, event organizers, book publishers and distributors, and audio and video producers with marketing and management assistance.I was privileged to serve the ministries of Franciscan University from 1988 through 1999. In my capacity as Director of Christian Outreach, I was responsible to plan and implement the logistical, hospitality and administrative operations for conferences and events. The programs that I was involved with at the University attracted and served well over 190,000 people in those 11 years.From 1995 to 2002, I served as the Administrator for FIRE (A Catholic Alliance of Faith, Intercession, Repentance and Evangelism). As Administrator I coordinated 55 Rally’s, each in a different city. Each Rally included a local host organizing committee of 12 members and another 75 local volunteers. The 55 Rally’s attracted approximately 65,000 people.In 2003, my wife, Marlene and I began a 7 year engagement with Ave Maria University in Naples, Florida serving in several positions. Each of the positions involved the development and implementation of programs and events that would result in the University becoming known and better known.Marlene and I were the Convention Managers for the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars for 19 years (1992 through 2011). The Annual Convention was the significant activity for this membership based organization.I was a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) from 1992 to 2002. During that time I was also a member of Religious Conference Management Association and the Catholic Marketing Network. Ministry Development Group has allowed me to serve other ministries by making my education, experience, and relationships available to them outside of the several significant institutions mentioned above.I am committed to developing the synergy of cooperation in the world of Catholic evangelistic and apologetic ministry. My inspiration is “to better serve friends and to make new ones”.My most recent passion is to share quotes, excerpts and summaries from classic and popular authors, focused on “Disciplines of Disciples”, “Faith at Work”, “Faith in Sport”, and "Prayer". These are distributed by electronic and digital technology.
