	Christina Wheeler, Construction Manager christina@stbernardproject.org   Christina grew up in upstate New York and then moved to Boston to go to Tufts University. After graduating with a civil engineering degree, she took a job in the Boston area as a field engineer. She spent three years on construction sites before she quit her job, packed up her stuff, and headed on a road trip across the country with her boyfriend, Dave. The trip led them to Louisiana in Novemeber 2006 and they've been here ever since. She currently lives in a FEMA trailer, but hopes to eventually buy a house and fix it up with all the skills she's learned at the St. Bernard Project.

	Paul Baldwin, Construction Manager, AmeriCorps*State paul.baldwin@stbernardproject.org   Paul Baldwin was formerly very interested in providing a bio but has not done so. Thus, this is a fabricated essay. Paul was suspected born in the small Belarussian town of Odva, a large-ish commodities market in Eastern Europe. Raised a poor fishmonger, Paul eventually came to the United States in search of freedom, the chupacabra, stamps, hope, and satsumas. This, of course, led him to SBP where (and here the truth begins) he is an invaluble member of the staff.
	Mike Bauman, Construction Site Supervisor, AmeriCorps*State michael.bauman@stbernardproject.org   Michael is originally from St. Louis, MO. He was a national champion rollerskater in 1970. He has been travelling the world, leaving his mosic-art mark all over, including in South Africa. It was here where he saw the Katrina feature on Oprah that included the St. Bernard Project, and then he relocated to da Parish. To see his artwork, visit mosaicmanworld.com. In the world outside the project, Mike is an AIDS activist.
	Andrea Bean, Director of Volunteers, AmeriCorps*Vista andrea@stbernardproject.org Originally from western PA and a graduate of Westminster College, Andrea is on her 5th stint to Louisiana since Katrina.  During her third trip in April 2007, Andrea felt led to leave her Colorado life and return to da Parish on a more permanent basis.  Things came together and she joined the team at the St. Bernard Project in September 2007.  Andrea spent the past five years in Fort Collins, CO, loving the mountainous beauty of the Rockies and working as the Special Programs Manager with Habitat for Humanity.
	Bob Buras, Community Liaison   Born and raised in the 9th Ward, Bob moved to St. Bernard in 1965 and intends to stay here until the water flushes him out into the gulf.  Working with the St. Bernard Project, he's met some great people and is excited about building into the future.
	Paul Clark, Construction Site Supervisor, AmeriCorps*State paul.clark@stbernardproject.org   Paul, 24, graduated in 2005 from St. Louis University with a B.A. in Political Science and Spanish, then traveled to India where he volunteered at a leprosy clinic (don't worry folks, he's clean!).  He's been working with the St. Bernard Project since March 2007 and has aspirations for the Peace Corps and, eventually, minor seminary.  In his spare time, he likes taking unsuspecting volunteers to Willie D's Frozen Custard and traveling to Frenchman Street for some good jazz.
	Christine Graham, Construction Site Supervisor christine.graham@stbernardproject.org   Christine visited the New Orleans area for the first time in the spring of 2007. After handing doors for a day with the St. Bernard Project and satiating herself with great music and fried food at the Jazz Fest, Christine was hooked. She left the genetic research lab where she had been working as a technician for 4 years, and she and her husband put everything that wouldn't fit in our car in storage. They're here until next summer (at least), and they couldn't be happier!
	Colleen Kenny, Office Logistics, AmeriCorps*State colleen@stbernardproject.org Colleen is 24 and from Frankfort, IL--Chicago-ish. She went to school at Duquesne University in the deceptively fastastic city of Pittsburgh, or the Grand Shiny, as it is known. SBP discovered Colleen's raw talent and pervasive sense of self while she was their minion during her stint in AmeriCorps NCCC, the exact same team as Anna "Bananas" Ziegler. When not fighting entropy in the office and in the world in general, Colleen rejoices at her new reunion with her life long love Television, is newly addicted to Top Chef, anxiously awaits Battlestar Galactica marathons (the new one), and loves the sight of oil refineries, especially at night.
	Emily Lancaster, Volunteer Coordinator, AmeriCorps*State emily.lancaster@stbernardproject.org This is my life in 150 words or less. I moved to New Orleans to begin my journey of life. If you have more questions about my life- ask Colleen, she has my real bio memorized in her mind. This bio is dedicated to my father to prove that I really do work here. Hey Mom and Dad!
	Larry Liebowitz, Construction Site Supervisor larry.liebowitz@stbernardproject.org Larry is 23, from Baltimore, and doesn't mind speaking about himself in the third person for a inter-web-page bio.

	Peridot Rodgers-Liston, Construction Site Supervisor peridot.rodgers-liston@stbernardproject.org   Peridot came to us from AmeriCorps NCCC, from where she graduated in November 2007. After she left AmeriCorps, she decided to come back down to St. Bernard Parish after spending 6 weeks here working at camp hope. She fell in love with the old Camp Hope and the Parish, so she is here as a long term volunteer for a year or so. Peridot graduated high school in June 2006 and is 19 years old.
	Joe Urbeso, Office Logistics, AmerCorps*State joe.urbeso@stbernardproject.org   Joe was one of our clients before he came on staff long term as an AmerCorps*Direct volunteer. St. Bernard Project finished his house, and since then, he has been invaluably helping us run the office. Joe is a single father of two: Leslie, a freshman in high school, and Joe, Jr., in middle school. Both his children are competitive karate fighters, and he shares his love of RC racing with his family.
	Anna Ziegler, Supply Runner, AmeriCorps*State anna.ziegler@stbernardproject.org   Anna "Susan-Towelmaker-Bananas" Ziegler hails from Tunkhannok, PA (also known as Tutenkamen, PA). She graduated with a studio art degree from Bloomsburg University in December 2006. She is 22 (will be 23 in January 2008) and has an interest in glass blowing. Anna came to the St. Bernard Project as a Corps Member in NCCC from the Sacramento campus. She fell in love with the Parish when her team was placed here in the summer of '07 for 4 1/2 months. She just had to come back for a rather undetermined amount of time. Anna is our runner extraordinaire currently, and after she is done training the new Americorps teams in this particular art, she will have a new position within the Project.
