A Closer Look

Though my roots were originally grown in Wisconsin, I now belong to a fantastic community in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, a place I have come to call my home.  I spend my days investing in the lives of college students – and I believe it is the most rewarding work in the world.  You might see me exploring the city of Pittsburgh on my random trips to the city, lost in a book in one of the many cafes located within this unique city of colored bridges.  As most know, I am always up for a conversation with a friend, acquaintance, or any random person who seeks a listener… each conversation changes my life, teaching me the skill of seeing life through another person’s eyes.  It is really quite rewarding.

All this said, I’ve created this little blog to give myself a space to reflect on the experiences life has brought my way.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
