Hobbies and Interests

In love with sports, but more specifically Chicago Sports. I'm a Bulls, Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Blackhawks fan to the core. I have been since 5 years old as I grew up through the Jordan era and was born the last year the Bears won a Superbowl. I'm also a former college athlete who excelled on the football field for Lakeland University. My sports history taught me how to work in a team setting, team leadership, discipline and overcoming adversity. All of which translates to an ever growing ability to excel in whichever setting I'm in professionally.
