more than a trainer

My parents raised me to be grateful for my blessings and always to give in whatever ways you are able. Growing up I was fortunate to be surrounded by supportive, nurturing, and service-oriented friends and family.

I continue to be a friend of TYC where I have lead workshops and served as Director of the Trinity Youth Conference held annually in Bedford, PA.

Throughout my life I have had the luxury of travel. I believe travel has enriched my life in ways beyond explanation.

I spend much of my travel time learning about the cultures I am an alien to and, more often than not, finding ways to serve my host communities in some small way. I am a firm believer that helping others is not a subtraction but one that pays eternal dividends.

I am blessed to call Pittsburgh, PA my home along with my amazing wife, Whitney Sunseri, MD, and our larger than life pooch, Opie (Optimus Prime).
