I am the proud father of two amazing boys, Harrison (10) and Jameson (9).  The boys and I love to travel, spend a weekend boating on the lake, watch Notre Dame football and play all the sports.  

I was raised on a farm in small town Indiana along with three brothers and two sisters.  After graduating from Valparaiso University, I've lived in Chicago for 23 years and currently serve as a Managing Director in the Transaction Advisory Group at Alvarez & Marsal.  

Outside of work, I love to ride horses as often as possible across the country, play golf, and travel the world to broaden my perspective and recharge.  A few of my favorite trips/places include golfing in Ireland, a South African safari, Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana and Capri/Amalfi Coast.  

A longtime fan of Dancing with the Stars since Season 1, I'm excited to embrace this opportunity and take on this new challenge.
