| Occupation | young adult minister |
| Location | Chicago, Illinois, United States |
| Introduction | I live in the Windy City and work for the Catholic Church as a young adult minister and director of a young adult volunteer program. My life has shifted around a lot in the last ten years so I find the best way to keep up with my family & friends is to stay in touch via the web. I also like to design websites and blogs so that helps. :) |
| Interests | making new creations at the pottery studio, almost any kind of music, trying to learn how to play guitar, reading fiction, swimming, hiking & backpacking when i can manage to escape the city, traveling (in the US or faraway places), listening to Car Talk and Prairie Home Companion on NPR, cooking, thinking about theology, watching Mystery & NOVA on PBS, rock climbing, and anything that involves being out in nature |
| Favorite Movies | I generally like movies with happy endings although every once in awhile, I'm in the mood for something sad, tragic, or disturbing. As for genre, I can do just about anything except for horror movies (too much blood, guts, and gore for me). |
