Finn LaVelle

I am a hard-working, athletic young man who loves God, my Church, my family, and my country. The biggest challenges I've overcome are growing up without a father and being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Overcoming these challenges have shaped and heightened my work ethic to a high standard. I am most proud of my collegiate athletic career as a catcher for the Benedictine baseball team. Balancing school and baseball is a difficult act, but my time management skills have allowed me to excel in the classroom and on the field. Running my own fundraiser, Tee Up for Type 1, has taught me communication skills and allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and standing up for a cause I believe in.
