About

I grew up in Downers Grove, IL, and now have an office in Naperville, IL.  I went to college at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.  I met my wife, Dana, while doing medical residency at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, IL.  Dana and I enjoy spending time outdoors and hiking. I am interested in local food and cooking, and we have a vegetable garden. We get meat and eggs from local farmers.
