A short autobiography
I am a Jesuit priest. I was a Professor at Canisius College in Buffalo, New York, from 1990 until 2018. I taught introduction to world religions ("Lose Your Faith 101") and various topics in Catholic Theology in the Department of Religious Studies and Theology.
I was born in 1952, in Allegany, New York. That makes me a "mountain boy." Allegany County and Cattaraugus County are the two northernmost counties of Appalachia, according to the federal government. I didn't find this out until I was 21, but I find it makes sense out of some of my boyhood experiences in and around Ellicottville, New York
