I AM...
- The 12th of 15 kids – this definitely taught me how to get along with people
- Amazed that my parents found time to establish the Christian Family Movement in Detroit in the mid-1960s. Their motto was “Inter-Faith, Inter-Racial,” which was ahead of their time.
- Proud of my wife of 35 years, Maggie, who volunteers for hospice
- A dad to four great kids (Kevin, Chris, Ryan and Anna) who live in four different time zones, all doing their own thing
- A fan of big bonfires – I do miss the homework-burning bonfires we had at the end of each school year
- Enjoying being a teacher at the Notre Dame Law School as an adjunct professor
- An adrenaline junkie – from cage diving with great whites to skydiving. I had to pull my emergency ripcord once, it was awesome.
- Happy that I joined the Barnes & Thornburg family four years ago – it has been great
- Grateful that I had the chance to visit my grandparents’ village in Lebanon – it served as a reminder that we are blessed in America
- Someone with no relation to Ralph Nader, although I’ve been accused of being unsafe at any speed
