Changes

After the military, he received his Bachelors degree in business from Pace University. He moved to [[Las Vegas]] and worked for a Mormon business as a financial advisor to casinos. He became very successful and was hired to oversee casino finances for the municipal government.  He then moved to Los Angeles and started his own business as a real-estate agent to [[Hollywood]] Stars. He became a multi-millionaire with a big house, a big yacht and drove a Ferrari. Subsequently, several years of the party life style left him addicted to freebasing cocaine, and he became homeless and bankrupt. He lived on the city streets for a couple years refusing help and in horrible pain. He spent a year in the Veteran Administration psychiatric hospital.

Thanks to twenty straight years of prayer from his beloved Mother and Grandmother, he decided to return home and received a one-way ticket to Hudson, NY where he lived with his mother. After a period of time, he told his mother he wanted to go to confession. He told the priest "Forgive me father, it has been twenty years since my last confession." He made a good confession and it ended with "Father, I think I am being called to the priesthood." A stunned Father said, "With God, anything is possible."
