What do you love most about your job? The people – my coworkers, the people we help. The comradery, the friendships, the shared ideals and goals.

Something interesting about yourself: I am passionate about travel; and learning when you travel. Trying new things, pushing yourself, meeting new people and expanding your goals. I love my huge family; and my hometown of Chicago. My Dad had a huge pro-labor influence on me, as he is a retired IBEW electrician. Some of my other passions include fitness, music, flying and board games.
