About bauerh

I am a junior AYA Integrated Social Studies major commuting to BG from Norwalk. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, John, for twelve years and we are the proud parents of four children: Brennigan (10), Maddox (7), Hudson (5), and Reese (20 months). I love to spend time with my family, watch sports, American history and politics, cook, and bake. I am well known for my cheesecakes and was even featured on the Emeril Live program on the Food Network several years ago.
