About ME

I grew up in the southwest suburbs of Chicago in a large family.  My parents both loved baseball, but my father is a lifelong Chicago White Sox fan and my mother was a true Northsider only rooting for the Cub’s. I’m probably the only undeclared baseball fan in the city of Chicago. I enjoy going to either park.  It’s more about the fun of being with family and friends.  Plus, beer and hotdogs!

I enjoy all forms of art. But the one area I dabble with is painting! I plan that career when I retire someday. The kind of painting I do now is usually part of my second passion which is rehabbing and interior design.  I have always been obsessed with Chip and Joanna Gaines. I have been honored to be the only creative to work on the design of The Marketing Store offices in Chicago. That is one of my biggest accomplishments. I have done a number of extensive rehabs for myself and others which feeds my passion on the weekends.

I have a lovely wife and three great children (all School Social Workers). Not sure why they never wanted to be in Marketing.
