I grew up in Evanston Illinois with three brothers. My father was a psychiatrist at Northwestern University hospital downtown Chicago. 
My mother was a part time travel agent. I went to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and graduated with a degree in engineering.
Working since I was 13, I have had a wide variety of jobs, caddy, life guard, warehouse working, orderly at Northwestern, UAW working, ten years in industrial sales, 15 years in medical sales and marketing and 10 years in diabetic footwear. Now I am a professional volunteer with Rotary, Ozaukee Washington Land Trust, Family Promise of Ozaukee County and soon to add EMT for the Mequon Fire Department.
My wife and I have been married for 36 wonderful years and have two great kids, Will who is DC and Anne who is home working 4 jobs and going to school. My favorite vacation was taking the family to New Zealand over Christmas for two weeks. Every day was an adventure.
My first experience with Rotary was about 10 years ago when Terry Schacht convinced me to donate 5 Red Buds and come out and help plant them. It was a typical spring day in Mequon cold and damp. I enjoyed the project and the company. After my circulation returned a year later I joined Rotary. Now I live the dream as a volunteer for great causes.
