Q: What Are You Involved in Outside of Work?
A: Given the demands of the job, I try to spend as much of my free time outside of work with my family. Much of what we do revolves around sports. I've coached both of my kids' baseball and softball teams over the years, and I currently coach my son's basketball team as well. When we're not playing sports, you can usually find us cheering on the Cubs, Bears, Blackhawks and Indiana Hoosiers!
