Born in 1955, I grew up on the southwest side of Chicago by Midway Airport.  I went to Grimes Elementary school from 1960-66, Fleming school 1967 & 1968, Kennedy HS 1969 & 1970.  In July of 1970 we moved to Chicago Hts, IL and finished high school at Bloom Township High School, graduating in 1972.  Moved to Crown Point, IN in the mid 70's and then on to Downers Grove, IL in October 1988. 

After graduating high school I went to work for Hal Lieber's Bowlers and Trophy shops in Chicago Heights and then to the main store in Gary, IN a few years later.  I also did a brief stint in the early '80's at Pullman Standard in Hammond, IN building passenger cars for AMTRAK.  Then I worked as room service supervisor at the Holiday Star Plaza in Merrillville, IN where I served many of the big stars that played at the theatre.  

I went on to work at my brother's insurance agency in October of 1988.  I was licensed to sell auto, home, life and health insurance.  We dearly departed the end of June in 1995, I thank him for getting me started in the insurance business. 

From September of 1995 to May 2005 I was working for Schwartz Brothers Insurance Agency in Chicago, servicing a large book of personal lines insurance business.  In March of 1998 I bought a condo on the near north side of Chicago by the Oak Street Beach.  I sold my car and walked to work.

Lincoln Park Zoo, the Field Museum and the Shedd Aquarium were some of my favorite places to go when I was not at a Cubs or Sox game. 

My Sunday mornings were spent volunteering at Lincoln Park Zoo in the Guest Services department for almost 5 years.  It was an awesome experience there,  helping and meeting people from all over the world. 

And now I have sold the condo in Chicago, bought a new car, and moved to sunnier days in exciting Las Vegas, NV working in the records department for the Las Vegas Metro Police Dept.
