Deis and his wife Rosa are the proud parents of three daughters. The family will begin the process of relocating to London in the coming weeks. Outside of his professional life, Deis enjoys participating in and supporting local events in his community, including 5K runs and local projects.
“I’m so impressed with the state-of-the-art facility at Saint Joseph London and I appreciate its 90-year history in this region.
