One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The month I spent working in Germany changed my life. I won a travel scholarship through Rotary International... and stayed with families throughout the northern part of the country. It opened my eyes to so many things, and made me hunger for more ways to connect with people around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a frank llyod wright buff... and after living in Oak Park, IL for awhile am happy to show anyone his works there... its a great place to visit for anyone who's into architecture.

I'm also a member of Rotary International, and have a pretty good handle on its beginnings in Chicago.

Beyond that... I know alot of great restaurants/hang outs in this beautiful part of the midwest.
