My Story

I was born January 20, 1972, in the great city of Chicago. Chicago is a town of about three million people, along the shores of Lake Michigan. Perhaps you have heard of it. I was born at home (of course!) on the kitchen table (No joke!). Yes, it's the kitchen table we still use. I was born on the North Side of Chicago, not far from Wrigley Field (home of the 2004 world champion Cubs!). I would grow up walking to that wonderful ballpark and trudging through the ice and snow to school, the movies, and the help the beleagured campaign of some progressive Democrat.
I hope you will enjoy this photographic retrospective of my life.  

Note:  More photos are coming soon, so be patient! I will have one photo for every year!
