I have been a resident of Illinois my whole life and a resident of Woodridge for over 30 years. I was raised in Oak Park, Illinois. I went to Fenwick High School, graduated from SIU Carbondale with a BA in Computer Science. I received an Illinois Assembly Scholarship to attend Southern Illinois University. I played on the SIU rugby team and raced sailboats on the SIU sailing team. I have continued to race sailboats for over 30 years. I also play golf in a local league and have done so for over 30 years. I have an MS in Computer Science from North Central College. I have 5 brothers and sisters. I have been married to Barbara for 40 years and I have 3 children: Katie, married to Paul Haney, Brendan married to Meghan Carmody, and Brian. I have five grandkids: Finnley, Reverie, Rozie, Franky, and Vinny.
I was a telecom engineer at Western Electric/AT&T/Lucent, for over 30 years. I consider myself fortunate to have worked on a variety of different projects that have produced technology that people use every day. I helped design applications for 911 on both the municipal side and the telephone side of the network. I was a network engineer for IBM Global Networks. I also supported messaging and voicemail applications for telephone companies worldwide. I am currently an adjunct professor of Computer Science at Wright Junior College.
I have been very active in the community as well. I served on the Woodridge Soccer Board for over 15 years, drafting policies, rules, and implementing them for the good of the people. I served DuPage and Will County as a referee for rec, traveling, and adult soccer for 24 years. I have been active at St. Scholastica as a member of the Art and Environment Group, the Youth Group and the Liturgy Council.
