So kind of Western Pennsylvania has been my kind of home base for most of my time. So I'm not like a pastor's kid in the traditional sense of some people but I kind of get that world a little bit so then I went to and that was just right up here in outside of the city of Pittsburgh. But when I was in high school, he had lost his manufacturing job that he had for 20 years or whatever and then made the transition into being a pastor. He wasn't always a pastor when I was growing up. You know how to have a very good relationship with still both my parents and you know had I think what you would consider probably a pretty typical small-town conservatives upbringing and I ain't that has you know shape a lot of my beliefs still church was always an important part of that myĠ5:46 Dad is actually a pastor. So I have four brothers, which is always a fun time growing up everybody.Ġ5:18 It's true. Married along the way.Ġ4:23 And I think that's kind of a quick overview of it or a five-year training and we're starting year for now.Ġ4:45 So I guess for me a little bit similar on the kind of what I would call a good upbringing raised in a pretty Conservative Christian home and I am the fourth son of five. I started out thinking about going into education and now I'm in social work working mainly with in medicine and with the geriatric population.Ġ4:16 And I'm new to the climbing world since being here in Pittsburgh. And yeah, I had the opportunity to travel internationally through some like service work and so.Ġ3:54 Really kind of open my world up at a young age around 15 16, and I'm now in the social work profession and I enjoyed that a lot. You know, I didn't really do great before then. I like really took advantage of it and that's where I got really good grades. And so when I have the opportunity to attend a university and go away to college that was really surprising to me and so because I was able to do that. I did not really think I was going to go to college thought I would kind of go to Community College and I got a job 9 to 5. I think but you know same thing just kind of skated through always had friends really fortunate in that way always had what I needed. That was so important for me to my upbringing and so even though I'm not involved with the Catholic church now that also was very important in my development and how it was kind of like this foundation in launching point for developing my ideas about the world and people in it.Ġ3:00 I'll see you so high school was interesting for everyone. And so just had a really wonderful childhood playing outside 24/7 andĠ2:26 A lot of my beliefs and probably we're going to talk about today because of that sense of community and kind of taken care of one another always having supportive loving people nearby. He plays the trumpet and my mom was at home taking care of us also running like a daycare out of her house is really involved in the community and thenĠ1:42 The last 20 years has been working in our Catholic Church Parish where I spent a lot of my formative years.Ġ1:52 I you know was cuz I was kind of an outgoing goofy kid voicetress getting lots trying to get lots of attention as one of the younger kids in a big family lots of cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents all living on one road there in Florida. I think that's very telling about who I am and my personality I grew up in Orlando Florida and my father has been a musician his entire career. So how would you sum up your life story in 5 minutes or less Emily?Ġ1:14 I always start with being the youngest of four children.
