Hello my name is Jeff Sved.  I'm originally from Pittsburgh and recently graduated from Villanova University where I majored in Chemical Engineering with a focus on sustainable engineering.  I was very involved with Villanova's service programs in campus ministry where I first volunteered at St. Francis Inn.  My favorite hobbies include pretty much anything outdoors and sports, especially Steelers football.

Much of my time at Villanova was shaped by the experiences I've had at the Inn, so joining FVM was always a possibility, but I wasn't sure what I was looking to do.  During my senior year I started applying to do a year of service, and up until late June I was planning on serving internationally for two years with another organization.  Through a series of experiences this summer I started to understand what it was that I was looking for.  And the community life with FVM of service and prayer was just that.

During the upcoming year, I want to share God's love with others in a very concrete way.  Living a life of love in response to the love God has shown me is how I want to live, and I want to take this year to figure out how that can manifest itself in my life long term.
