I AM...
Someone you wouldn’t want to see on Halloween – I do my own makeup and costumes – the scarier the better!
The first person you see when coming through the doors of the South Bend office, and have been with the firm since 1990
A lover of all animals – rescue, injured or stray – everyone calls me when there is a situation with an animal
Part of a nine-person team that built our lake home on weekends over 14 months from the bottom up, except for the foundation, electrical and the roof
Someone who enjoys all lake activities, especially fishing, with my biggest bass weighing just over 6 pounds
A fan of all music
Happiest working in my flower gardens or out picking rocks, as these activities relax me
Someone who can be found biking, hiking, or enjoying the outdoors with my husband
A believer that fall is the “Ultimate Season” – bonfires, fall colors, pumpkins, crickets chirpin’, soup, sweatshirt and jeans – nothing compares!

A mother of three and a soon-to-be grandmother
A great cook of Creole cuisine
A believer that '90s music is the best music
Always up for an adventure and willing to try new things
Beach bum who is at peace when my toes are in the sand with a view of the ocean

I AM...
A husband of 30 years to the most wonderful woman I know (unbiased)

A lifelong Chicago Bears Fan – Bear Down!
A late-blooming runner who hadn’t run a mile since high school until five years ago and now runs 3-4 miles, five days a week

I AM...
A proud father to four adult sons
Married to the love of my life – literally love at first sight for both of us
An Impressionist and Surrealist art lover who has seen many of the original masterworks – everyone should be required to experience the Dalí Museum Spain!
Co-head of a “survivor” family conquering cancer, heart attacks, etc.
Celebrating 35 years of continuous sobriety
The patriarch of a dogloving family – when all together it looks like an out of control dog park!
