Hello World, I’m Connor!

Welcome to my World Race page!!! I am so excited to share with you a little about myself and hope that you will follow me throughout this amazing experience in my life. 

 

To start things off I am a 22 year old that grew up and currently lives in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. If not from Colorado, Highlands Ranch is located about 30 minutes south of downtown Denver.  I am currently studying Finance at the University of Colorado Boulder. I will be graduating this May (2017) and starting my adventure in August 2017. I have two sisters (Megan and Amanda) and two brothers (Nick and Tyler). We are a large family and I am the youngest of the five kids. You can imagine it was a rough childhood being the youngest of five! 

 

 

Kimberly and Daniel are my amazing parents and have shaped me into the man that I am today. I enjoy the outdoors, whether it be playing golf, snowboarding or just spending time with friends. I love to take advantage of the 300+ days of sunshine we experience in Colorado.

 

The moment I fell in love with the idea of “giving back” to those less fortunate was the summer after I graduated from high school. My girlfriend, Taylor, and her family invited me to take a trip to Nicaragua to help work in a medical clinic they had started years ago. I have been back to Nicaragua every summer since that first trip and can not get enough of service work.  This is why I am venturing off on this journey to 11 different countries for 11 months. I can’t exactly describe how excited I am for the opportunity to strengthen my relationship with the Lord and at the same time help serve and grow as an individual. I have known for a while now that the World Race was something I needed to do but I also knew I had to first graduate from college and get my degree. 

 

 

Throughout these 11 months I will be traveling to:

• Serbia
• Romania
• Bulgaria
• Malaysia
• Thailand
• Laos
• Lesotho
• South Africa
• Madagascar
• Jamaica
• Dominican Republic
