Biographies

Gretchen, after growing up in the quaint Chicago suburb of Mundelein, graduated college with a double major in Finance and Theology. Soon after, Gretchen joined Operation Mobilization International and spent two years overseas, reaching out and supporting a foreign Christian community. Since returning this past August, she has been working at a local bookstore, and actively involved in her home church located in Elmhurst, Illinois, where she currently resides. Gretchen enjoys reading, writing, drawing, learning about new cultures, watching movies, and processing.

Brendan was raised in the western suburbs of Chicago, and after attending Wheaton Academy and undergrad, is now a fourth year medical student at the Stritch School of Medicine. Currently, he is pursuing a residency in Dermatology, a field he finds extremely interesting and rewarding. His interests include photography and art, playing the guitar and piano, the crucifixion of Christ (from a medical perspective), coding, reading (philosophy and history), and writing.
