FULL BIO
In addition to my involvement with the Entrepreneurship Society, I am involved in several other organizations. I am co-leading an accounting project with the Student International Business Club. Although we have not officially chosen a project for the upcoming school year, PwC is sponsoring it. It will probably have something to do with Fair Market Accounting. I am also very involved in Irish Dancing. I compete at the World Championship level, and recently trained for the National championships this summer where I placed 11th. Notre Dame is fortunate enough to have a very active Irish Dance Club, which performs at various events around campus and South Bend. I will take the Vice President position for the 2008-2009 school year. Finally, I have a passion for Irish music, and recently started a band with some other students. We hope to play at some more gigs this upcoming year!

I’ve been kicking this idea around for awhile and felt like publishing it because 1) ideas are cheap and 2) the amount of energy/passion required to execute on this idea are so great that I think the only people that could do it need to contact me.
