Leader Team

Hi, I’m Taylor Skala. I have been volunteering at Campus Life for almost a year. I have grown up in Downers Grove and went to Downers Grove North high school. Currently, I attend Columbia College in Chicago and am studying photography, so you will often see me with a camera. After school I would love to travel and work with an organization like world vision. The top six places I want to travel are Africa, Australia, Ireland, Greece, France and Alaska. Along with Monday nights, I also have a lot of fun helping out at girls group! I’d love to share more with you over a cup of tea, so call me up if you want to talk!

Activities: I'm enjoying my new baby boy, and trying to figure him out :) I'm also trying to keep up with the house and friends. Interests: I love traveling with my hubby. I love hanging with friends and CL Students. I love being outdoors. I love history!!

Hey. My name is Ryan Kenealy and I got the hugest forehead of all the leaders. I like to eat sandwiches, snap bagels, read teen girl mystery novels, and gangsta trollies whenever I get the chance. My current job is working as a DJ at parties and weddings and stuff. I’ve been with Campus Life for over a year now and I love it. You can find me on Monday nights in the warehouse rocking my huge forehead and running the games for all you fools.

People of Earth: I’m Big Steve. How big? 6’6”…220 lbs. Waist: 36 Inseam: 36 Got my own zip code. My life was changed for the better by organizations just like Campus Life when I was in high school at Glenbard West, so when Mike “The Bicep” Paull came calling, I didn’t hesitate a porcupine’s wink to sign on as a volunteer leader. Now, I LOVE seeing you stud muffins on Monday nights at the Warehouse and any opportunity I can muster to join up with the guy’s group on Thursday nights. I admit, there are times when I can be a pretty busy dude, but in the rare moment when I’m not bench pressing locomotives, helping the elderly cross the street, or rescuing baby harp seals from killer whales, I enjoy quality time with my nephews and niece and teaching my old dog, Wrigley, new tricks. Just last week he learned: up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, b, a, select, start. Bam! Unlimited lives. Let’s see your Bichon Frise do THAT. God is rad. Life is funny. We should be amigos. In that order. What’s that? You want to hang? Baller. My 411 is below.

Hi, my name is Merry (its actually short for my real name – can you guess what it is?). I am a teacher at Bolingbrook High School. I teach mathematics there and even though it can be super challenging I love my job. I also love running and being active. If you ever want to play an outdoor game or running around in circles let me know and I’ll join you. Oh, but don’t call me after 9:00 pm because that’s past my bedtime.

Hello all... it's Amanda! I've been coming out to CL since November of 2007. I'm 28, and work in an Architecture firm. So I spend my day in autocad, photoshop, or doing renderings (big word for coloring). I'm not sure what I want to do with the rest of my life but this fits now. I LOVE traveling and hope to do more of that in the future. I'm pretty laid back... I prefer gym shoes to dress shoes, a low key night at home to one out on the town, and I think less is more when it comes to make-up. As much as I love summer and the beach I need to experience all four seasons and would have to say that my favorite season involves jeans and a sweatshirt. I'm not a morning person and I look forward to turning my alarm clock off every Friday night (especially if it cold out and I get to sleep in =)). I try to keep myself surrounded by positive trust-worthy people whose friendships make me a better person. Any question ask away... see you on Monday!!

Wazup ladies and gents? I'm the resident bald guy here at CL, well, at least until some of the other leaders start goin' bald (you know who you are). I'm a born and raised Californian, so "big up" to the C-A! I just moved to the area 6 months ago with my beloved wife, Jessica, to work for "the man", a.k.a John Pack. Im pretty new to the CL scene, but I've graduated college and survived high school, so I guess you could say Im kind of a big deal. If you ever wanted to meet a "big deal" or kick it, then hit me up, but don't actually hit me, I'm fragile.

My name is Nancy Springstroh, and I help ya'll check-in on Monday nights. My 2 daughters are DGN and Campus Life alumni, so I've been around Campus Life for awhile. If I look somewhat familiar to some of you, chances are you've had me as a substitute teacher at Jefferson Jr. High. Besides my daughters and great husband, I have a crazy dog (vizsla) that I'm convinced has ADHD.

I’m John Pack and I’m a volunteer here at Campus Life. I was born and raised here in the DG area and I lived in the San Francisco Bay area for about four years after high school. My hobbies include Disc Golf, Fishing and cooking big meals for people I love. For my actual job I am the Sales Manager for my families printing company. We print a lot of greeting cards and instruction manuals for video games and all the printing for Campus Life. My favorite bands are NSYNC, Back Street Boys and Paula Abdoul. If you want to know if that’s true or not you’ll have to come to Campus Life to find out.
