The leader of the week is...

ME! Zach Hirsch!I picked myself since it was my birthday two days ago. Self-serving? A little bit. A lotta bit actually. But hey! As a full time leader, I'd have to appear at some point..and it seemed like a good time. I also had to weed through some photos to find something appropriate. Most schools have had their graduation ceremonies recently and I think this relic is spot on.

So without further ADO...here is the leader bio that Ms. Katie Koga wrote up for me during our first retreat:

"Born and raised in Rockland County, NY, Zach Hirsch is a recent transplant to the Missoula community. Zach received his undergrad in Graphic Design and Black and White Photography at Fordham University. His shift in gears to service work came out of, “a need for a sense of fulfillment in life.” A few things you should know about Zach is that he is a Taurus, he has four siblings (the oldest is 35 and the youngest is 10), and his first name is really Harris. Zach is currently thrilled about becoming the new owner of a Siberian husky pup."

An update: My landlord said no to the pup and I have yet to get one :(

That is all for now! I also really enjoy to dance. I'm currently listening to LCD Soundsystem, "Someone Great" and driving Ms. Emily Clark absolutely insane (as always...).
