Brendan Durkin is excited to be creating content for Madison Dodger Online in his senior year. This is his first year contributing to the site.

He is a Chicago sports fan, film enthusiast, and 3x Highlands Elementary Tug of War champion (not a big deal). In his free time, Brendan enjoys spending time with friends and family, keeping up with current events, listening to podcasts, and falling down Wikipedia rabbit holes. Brendan has worked as a golf caddy, movie theater usher, and a lifeguard; he truly is a jack of all trades. Next year, he plans on studying either communications, political science, or economics in college. 

Brendan hopes that you enjoy his work here on MDO. You can contact him through his Twitter account @BrendanMDurkin.
