I was born in Washington DC in the last century. I grew up in Wichita, Kansas. What I enjoyed about growing up in Kansas was the “everything is possible” environment of the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. I spent the next several years in the US Air Force and at the University of Illinois/Champaign-Urbana. Surviving sports in college and two years in Viet Nam has left me with two metal knees and a total shoulder replacement in my old age.
I met my wife in St. Louis, and we have two children (Ben and Charlotte). We moved to Milwaukee in 1978, (to be here a year). I lost my wife to cancer in 1997.
I am currently semi-retired after selling my money management firm to two great friends, who have expanded the firm in assets and client relationships.
My main hobby is sailboat racing.
I am active as a board member of the Milwaukee Community Sailing Center, and the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin.
