| Introduction | I am a passionate, dedicated Catholic Christian interested in what it means to live out Christ's call of evangelization and service in (and for) "the world." Most recently, I worked as the Chief Operating Officer of Paizo Publishing, LLC--a publisher of specialty magazines and products for fans of science fiction, fantasy, and gaming--in Seattle, Washington. I now live in Chicago, Illinois. For the past 19 years, I have labored as a youth minister, Confirmation coordinator, and retreat director. For 6 of those years, I have helped form catechists and adult ministers of youth by providing scriptural and catechetical study, opportunities for prayer and reflection, and workshops that offer practical ministry skills. For the past two years, I have been teaching and evangelizing Catholics about their role as lay apostles in Christ's mission to the world. |
