Cyril Pinchak, SJ

Hailing from Shaker Heights, Ohio, Cyril graduated from John Carroll University prior to joining the Jesuits. A life-long Byzantine Catholic, he is currently studying theology in Toronto, Canada.

Scrawny since birth, he has recently begun Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; if he had learned it in his childhood, he would have eaten a lot less dirt from his older brothers.
