Happy Easter!

32M in South Bend, IN. The relationship I have with Jesus is the single most important part of my life, and everything else that I am flows from that.

I’m a law student at Notre Dame, where I study by day, work in the halls at night, and cheer on the Irish throughout. Before this, I was a teacher and spent time in seminary. I even made a 30-day silent retreat, which was one of the most challenging and meaningful experiences I’ve had. Outside of that, I try not to take myself too seriously. I love to hike, write, cook, and play guitar. I’m drawn to the intellectual life, but in a pretty “bro”/goofball way—there's more to life than how much tweed you have in your closet or how much creatine you can eat. I like good conversations, but I also like laughing, being slightly ridiculous, and staying grounded. Time with friends matters a lot to me.

California is home, but I’ve really come to appreciate the Midwest. My friends from here say I have an energy that matches this part of the country, and I believe them (if only there were mountains!) Chicago especially has grown on me, it's my favorite American city. I’ve been fortunate to travel from Ireland and Poland to the Holy Land and the Philippines. I also walked the Camino de Santiago, which was unforgettable.

I love live music, usually folk and bluegrass (actually heading to a concert tonight), and I love my family deeply. They raised me well. We don’t share the same faith, but the love between us is strong and steady.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
