Marco Pasquinelli

As a lieutenant I served as a logistics platoon leader in Kuwait and Iraq before being honorably discharged in 2021. Serving my country had been a goal of mine from a young age. Both of my grandfathers served in the military, and my maternal grandfather attended the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 1955.

I earned a bachelor’s degree and an MBA from Indiana University Bloomington and am now pursuing a PhD in economics at Notre Dame. I’m grateful for the experiences that have shaped me thus far, both in the military and in academia, and I am excited to continue building on them. I live with my wife and two children, who keep me busy and grounded.
