      • When I'm Not In The Office I can be found... at choir rehearsal or choir liturgy at Saint Patrick's Cathedral, Fifth Avenue, New York City.
      • People would be surprised to know that I... am a licensed Sightseeing Guide for the City of New York specializing in Catholic shrines, saints www.SaintsOfNewYork.com and churches.
      • Favorite APP... NextRadio
      • I do my best thinking... on the 1X Express Bus from Staten Island to Manhattan on the Gowanus Expressway.
Favorite all time vacation... That's a tough one since I love to travel and always love to visit my family at “home” in Ireland.  But, the October 2010 St. Patrick’s Cathedral choir trip to Rome and Vatican City to open the Sacred Music and Arts Festival with a pilgrimage to Assisi was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
