Hello One Foot Down readers, my name is Jeff Czerniakowski and I am just starting here as a contributing writer. I’m very excited to get to work and help continue on the growth of this site. Notre Dame is a passion of mine and I know it is a passion of all the readers. I am very thankful that I will be able to write about one of the most passionate things in my life!

Notre Dame has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. I have been going to football games since I was three years old. It all started with my grandpa telling me stories of him going to games when he was a kid. Being in the Notre Dame atmosphere is something that never gets old to me. I have loved Notre Dame football and basketball for as long as I have been alive.

A little bit about me is that I am a senior at Capital University, which is in Columbus, Ohio. Being in Columbus for almost four years has led me to hating everything Ohio State, but that is another story for another day. I am on the golf team at Capital as I was not able to give up my love for competition after high school. I will be graduating in May with a degree in business management. I’m not sure where my career will take me, but I love writing and will always do so.

Starting off I will contribute to the site by helping with game recaps of the basketball games this season. The basketball team has proved the last two years that they are worthy of our attention. And I think 2017 will be a major turnaround for Irish football. I mean, it can’t get worse, right? I have heard great things about the OFD staff and readers. I am excited to join and Go Irish!
