I quit my job at UPS in January of 2010 to work for the National Institute for Community, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization who's mission is to help build quality relationships where people live and work through the power of genuine community,  in Romeoville to help with the Community Life Program (www.communitylife.info). I fell in love with my job and Romeoville pretty much immediately and want to continue being a part of this community for years to come.

My passions are helping people, caring for people, and connecting people to whatever it is they are interested in. I also dabble in a few other things: fixing cars, cloth diapering, bicycling, camping, gardening, sand volleyball and just chilling on my porch sometimes.

I am married to my beautiful wife, Lindsey, and our first child was born on Jan. 5, 2011 — he's amazing!
