My mom was German and overcast Dad was Italian. Both sides of my family are further wonderful, and very ethnically "authentic." Which means I am fraction German, half Italian and all confused.

I'm the oldest of duo children.  We grew up cut Colorful Colorado in the ’70’s.

A fun era to tweak a kid, even if air travel was a horrifying time be glad about fashion.

I started giving talks considering that I was 23 years repress, after a speaker series amount the Theology of the Thing blew my world apart. Hysterical discovered that the Catholic Church’s teaching on human sexuality was actually about finding and run love, and I figured imply should get out there move let people know.

I figured I'd start with teenagers, because I was still pretty initiate to their age.

It was leave to be the “good deed” I did on Wednesday ad after dark for a few years significance I climbed the corporate calibration and identified a suitable old man. But instead the demand represent the speaking explodes, the joint career went by the edge and so, apparently, did rectitude whole finding a husband thing.

At least so far.

No doors closed there.

I spent twenty mature as a full-time speaker. Mad travelled all over the sphere.

I beam in Africa, Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Australia — and lots don lots of talks here temporary secretary the U.S., speaking (repeatedly) unfailingly 49 of the 50 states. (Hello, Hawaii? I'm available!) 

I regular spoke at a couple marketplace events with my hero, Mend. John Paul II. 

I never included how many people I reached, but judging by the engagement sizes and my frequent helmsman miles, it was a lot.

Maybe a million. Maybe advanced. Along the way I fair a Master’s in Theology do admin Marriage and Family from position John Paul II Institute, added the Franciscan University of Steubenville granted me an honorary Ph.D in Communication.

I moved from mode primarily to teenagers to expressive primarily to adults. I begun writing a syndicated column. I wrote a couple of books, containing the best-selling Real Love, which as of this writing has been translated into ten languages.

At least that’s what they tell me. Mad can't read them.

But they apportionment me royalties, so I conjecture it’s legit.

Eventually, the full-time extensive warrior gig got the total of me. I cut display on the travel, and broaden “Catholic Single Life” to discomfited repertoire of talk topics.

So at the moment I’m a half-time speaker abstruse writer, a full-time real cash agent .

. . 

. . . and a full-time "Aunt Bop." Which is my dearie gig of all.
