Background Info: Mr. Donatelle grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota and attended St. John’s University, a small Benedictine university in central Minnesota. When he wasn’t studying he spent time hanging out with the monks, and reading literature. After a semester in Rome he graduated with a B.A. in philosophy, and minors in political science and theology. Shortly after finishing his first semester in theology graduate school, Mr. Donatelle ran off to Yerevan, following his fiancé back home after she finished her MS in accounting. After two years of teaching high school literature and social sciences at QSIY, his family moved to the US and he returned to school. In 2005 he graduated from Columbia University in New York with an MA in Modern European Literature and Philosophy. The next year he spent as a middle and elementary school substitute teacher in Manhattan.
