I was born and raised in an Italian family in Bronx, NY. I arrived in Hudson Florida in January 2001, and the next four years I worked several jobs, one at McDonald's, where I met my late wife Mary. She brought the best out in me. We were married here at FUMC Hudson and led the youth group for several years. When I was hired as the sound person, the church got two for one as she filled in whenever I could not run sound during the week. She needed a kidney and this church raised the funds and prayed us through. She lived three more years, then headed home to Heaven. I’m blessed to be part of this church family. They have loved me through my lowest times in life, even when I was unlovable. Most week days I drive buses, and on Sunday I enjoy being our church's sound man.
