An Illinois native, but have been blessed to live in various places around the country, I graduated from  Northern Illinois Universitywith a degree in Electrical Engineering and am currently attending the  University of Notre Dame for a degree in Theology.  I’m a convert to the faith; I came around my junior year of college and have been in love with the faith ever since. Serving as a missionary after college for two years, one with NET Ministries and another with the Roman Huskie Mission Team, has cultivated within me a desire to serve the Church wherever the Lord calls me.  One of my favorite quotes is from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI –  “The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness” – I truly believe in the greatness we are made for and strive to live that daily while encouraging and helping others along the way.
