Born and raised in St. Charles, MO (suburb of St. Louis), I have two older brothers who also attended Notre Dame, Brad '05 and Dan '09. Arriving at the University of Notre Dame in 2008, I became active in Morrissey Manor through intramurals, serving as hall clerk and treasurer for hall council, as well as participating in Bengal Bouts for 2 years. Also, I studied abroad in the 2010 London Notre Dame Summer Program and afterward, backpacked for two weeks throughout Europe. Receiving a May 2012 Bachelor degree in Business, with a major in Accounting, supplementary major in Computer Applications and an International Business Certificate, I am a 2012 summer intern in Forensic Accounting at Ernst and Young in Chicago. In my down time, I like to play tennis, listen to music and hang out with friends. While earning my Masters in Accountancy in 2012-2013, I look forward to serving as Assistant Rector for Morrissey.

I look forward to the great times ahead of us at Morissey Manor. GO IRISH!
