I've been married to my wonderful wife, Marissa, for over twenty years. We have a daughter, Olivia, who brings us immense joy. When I'm not working, I love spending quality time with family and friends. I'm also an active member of City First Church. You might also find me with my nose in a book, hitting the gym, or cheering on my beloved Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs!
