I grew up in Park Ridge and graduated Maine South High School in 1973. After graduating from The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1977, I received my Certificate of Public Accounting (CPA).  Since receiving my Juris Doctor Degree from The University of Illinois College of Law in 1980, I have been in private practice in the Northwest Suburbs.  I take pride in my faithful adherence to high ethical standards and honest, professional reliability.
