I am a Chicago native. I lived with my parents until I got married at 23 years old. My spouse is Patricia. I have 2 daughters that I am very proud of. I have only moved 4 times in my life all within the Chicago suburbs. I was a high school social studies teacher and coach. After taking an early retirement from teaching, I started my second career as a tour director and local guide. I really enjoy leading student and adult tour groups on all types of tours.
