| About Me: |
Hi everyone! Thanks for checking out my FOLIO. I'm excited to be a part of 4Marks and look forward to making new friends and connecting with you all.
A little bit about me -
I'm the oldest of 8 kids, so growing up there was never a dull moment around our house :). I'm a convert to Catholicism - my dad was a Presbyterian minister, and my entire family entered the Catholic Church in 1990.
Since graduating from college in '03, I have worked full time in young adult outreach. I'm the coordinator of NextWave Faithful, which is the young adult division of Family Life Center International. In addition to my writing, speaking, and outreach to young adults, I work with the EWTN Radio Network to bring you the first worldwide talk radio show for Catholic young adults, called "NextWave Live". You can check us out each Thursday night at 9:00PM Eastern for a lively talk show - we'd love to have you call in sometime and join our discussion, too! You can listen online at: www.ewtn.com/radio. ...
As a single Catholic, I know first hand both the struggles and the joys of serving Christ as a single person, and it has been an honor to work with Catholic Match over the past couple years and see so many single Catholics come together and encourage each other through this site. Be sure to check out the 4Marks Magazine and read the latest columns by Michael Rose, MaryBeth Bonacci, Brian Barcaro, and myself - and email us your thoughts and feedback too.
God bless!

| Description: |
Family Life Center International is a non-profit outreach to Catholic families worldwide. Society can only be renewed through strong, moral families, and we aim to support and promote traditional family life. We believe that in this high-tech world, there is a place for "moral media". The "moral media" of Family Life Center International provides a wealth of resources geared toward deepening a family's love and knowledge of their faith and thus hopes to impact today's society. We place a special focus on fatherhood and providing resources which aid fathers in fulfilling their vocation.
