Vita
I grew up in Elgin, Illinois, about 40 miles from Chicago. I am presently living there, but have also lived in California and North Carolina, plus assignments including Italy, India, and Papua New Guinea. My family includes my daughter (a schoolteacher in Elgin), two sons in Chicago (one a Nursing Assistant, and a other an accountant) and a son in Seattle who works as a senior Internet web developer).
