Hi There, I am the lucky husband of the lovely Pam and the very proud father of Gina, Nick and Christina. Born in Elgin, Il - I attended St Joseph grade school, St Edward High School, received my Bachelors degree from Eastern Illinois and an MBA from Indiana University. I am the eldest of 8 (and by far the smartest and best looking :) ) We are lucky to still have both of my parents alive and well living in the original family home on the east side of town. I love to garden, play golf, work outside and in, follow the local sports teams (NOT the Cubs). I stay healthy through walks and light weight training. I also very much enjoy following my talented kids and watching them as they ALL perform in various venues around town and at school. Professionally I have spent the greater part of my career in retail having many leadership roles with some great companies like, Jewel Food Stores, Toys R Us, USA Baby and Argix Direct. I am currently in transition - but trying to enjoy the journey.
