I'm a student at Notre Dame, and I run this site along with a fantastic team of people. In my spare time, I love to play guitar or a pickup game, listen to music, or watch The Daily Show or Colbert Report. I'm a born-and-raised San Diegan, and the only place that measures up is my current home at ND. If you need to get in touch, feel free to shoot me an email at connor.toohill@nextgenjournal.com. Hope you like what you find here!
