Dan Everson, SJ

Currently studying philosophy at Loyola University Chicago, Dan is a Cardinals fan in Cubs territory. The Jesuits got to him early, baptizing baby Dan in a chapel at Jesuit Hall at St. Louis University. Dan attended St. Louis U. High but also loves De Smet Jesuit, where he taught English for one year. His sophomores inspired him, and he theorizes that everyone is a sophomore -- or a “wise fool” -- in some way. When he’s not studying, Dan enjoys playing sports, speaking Spanish, and reading the news.
