What have you been up to since high school?:
I married after high school, had a daughter and son, then divorced after 14 years. I married again in 2004 (after being together for 8 years) and we've been together since then. Terry also has 2 children, and all four of our kids were in high school at the same time which was fun...and interesting! I obtained my BA and have spent most of my career working on IL State Board of Education or Federal (US Dept of Ed) projects: working with children with emotional/behavioral needs, providing training to educators, and then working as a Training Coordinator. I am now working on a national project that provides PBIS/MTSS training and support to schools in Lake County. We live in Gurnee. |

What have you been up to since high school?:
After graduation, I lived in Chicago briefly before moving to the DC/Virginia area for 22 years. Married my college sweetheart and had one son who is now 27 and just married his college sweetheart this May in the Basilica at Notre Dame. We moved back to South Bend, IN 14 years ago when my husband switched from being a lawyer to a professor and I spent eleven years as the Associate Director for Advising in the Mendoza College of Business at ND. Since quitting my day job, I do a little writing (children's books and the occasional blog) and host a podcast called The Open Book Test where I interview my former business students to help teens navigate the big decisions around majors and careers. I have one published chapter book called Ready, Regan? that helps K-3 graders understand and incorporate the growth mindset into their day to day lives. During football season we run an informal B&B hosting college friends and family since we live only 6 blocks from campus. It's a broken business model since we don't charge our guests but we absolutely love the company. Go Irish! Our son and his wife just moved to Indy where she's doing her residency in orthopedic surgery and he's a brand analyst and we could not be more delighted that they are Hoosiers again! |

What have you been up to since high school?:
I did the factory thing for about 4 years....not for me, nor was college. I was indoctrinated into IBEW Local 150 in my early 20s.... it was the 2nd best choice I made as a young adult. The trade has treated me good, as well as my previous wife. Got out of the party scene in my early 20s as well, this by far was the best choice. I have been in several business ventures, sold everything in 2002 and moved to LA....this was the worst choice I made...not for me!! There is nothing like Midwest people. Not long after my return to IL. I licensed down in Chicago and built condos during that whole craze...seen things swinging south in the market and folded another business. I have enjoyed being fortunate enough to travel, have nice homes the toys and all that other crap, but having had all that and now living pretty simple I live a much more stress free life, I have been very involved in raising my son, who is 9 and making sure my footings are always sound. Yes I did start late, I have another son due in October...very excited about it. Babies room is almost done..then what the list will never end....enough said |
|
| What are your current hobbies and interests?: Went to see Mr. "C" last year down in TN. He was my woodshop teacher for 2 years. I have since revitalized my woodshop, and have turned out a few very fine pieces of furniture. Oh traveling is on the list, ya I like to cook. Being involved with my boys acedemics, sports etc. but most of all just being there for him! | |
