I was born in St. Paul, MN where I grew up playing neighborhood sports and also attended Cretin-Derham Hall High School. My mom and dad, Colleen and Bill, my sister Bridget, and brother Mark are actively involved in the St. Paul community and our family Parish.
I have been blessed with numerous opportunities to participate and contribute to the Creighton and Omaha Communities. I have worked in the Collaborative Ministry Office as a work study student updating and maintaining parts of the Online Ministries web pages. I am a member of the Honors Program, the resident advisor of the, a living-learning-service program, a member of the Jesuit University Humanitarian Action Network (JUHAN), and participate on intramural sports teams. Weekly I work with English Language Learners in South Omaha.
I enjoy playing soccer and basketball, listening to music, and attending Creighton soccer and basketball games.

Writing these reflections: The process of reflecting allows me to process, analyze, and experience my beliefs in extraordinary ways. It allows me to relate the word of God to my daily life and facilitate an internal dialogue between how I live my life and the scriptures. The second aspect of this ministry is the sharing of these reflections. It is through this that I hope my reflections give others the opportunity to create an internal-personal or verbalized conversation about their lives, beliefs, and faith.
