Since High School:
After graduating from PHS, I attended Miami University in
Oxford, Ohio along with Bill Gill and Doug Spruance. Upon
graduating from MU with a Business Degree and a
Teaching Certificate, I taught at Arlington High School for
four years and coached football and wrestling and also
was the Lettermen's Club sponsor.
I then attended John Marshall Law School, in Chicago, for
one year before transferring to the University of Colorado
School of Law in Boulder, Colorado where I finished my
remaining two years of law school. I practiced law in
Colorado for 15 years before retiring. However, during
that time, I also began teaching law courses, along with a
variety of other business courses, at Boulder High School
(currently the most controversial high school in the United
States - thanks to Bill O'Reilly). I have now been teaching
Business Law, Finance, Business Foundations and
Business Management classes at Boulder High School for
a total of 18 years. While practicing law, I met my
beautiful, intelligent, wonderful and very understanding
and patient wife, Donna, through one of my clients. We
were married on the Tahoe Queen paddleboat, on Lake
Tahoe, on my birthday, so that I would never forget our
wedding anniversary, which, so far, has worked just great.
In addition to my birthday and our wedding anniversary,
December 21st is also our daughter Andrea's birthday.
Although Andrea is our best and favorite, partially because
she has a job and is living on her own, we also have two
sons, Adam and Austin, who I should probably mention.
Adam will be a freshman at Colorado State University in
August (majoring in film production and editing) and Austin
will be starting 8th grade in the fall (majoring in football,
hockey and girls).
Our family's passion is travel and we try to travel as much
as we can, as often as we can. Nothing real exotic, mostly
cruises and spots within the United States. For the past
22 years, our family's highlight has been spending time in
Maui each summer, but coming to Illinois, every five or ten
years, to see classmates, friends and family and share
stories isn't too far behind, and I mean that sincerely.
Onward through the fog!
