From a young age I felt it was my calling to set up friends and acquaintances. As a hobby, I was pretty good at it, and some of my amateur matches actually ended in wonderful marriages. Taking the road that many find themselves on after high school, I went to college and then on to receive my Masters in Social Work from the University of Michigan.
