All posts by Brett Helbling, SJ
Brett met the Jesuits at Gonzaga Prep in Spokane, Washington and attended the University of Portland earning a BA in accounting. Hoping there was more to life than financial statements and unqualified audit reports, Brett became a professional volunteer in the Peace Corps and the Jesuit Volunteer Corps where he served in Costa Rica and at Dolores Mission Parish in Boyle Height, Los Angeles. Brett has been missioned to study Mexican cuisine (and philosophy) at the Jesuit University in Guadalajara and enjoys eating (always), running (sometimes) and sharks (never).
