I moved to Chicago after graduating from the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!) to work as an application developer and eventually became  the Director of Recruiting for a computer consulting firm. I have been retired for thirteen years and now spend my time at Midtown Athletic Club playing tennis and platform tennis while also trying to get groups together to try padel.  To round out my retired life, I also play both bridge and mah jong  when my groups can get together. I am married to Jon and have twenty-three year old twins Lauryn and Noah. I love to dance and thought this would be a fun challenge - while also fundraising for a worthy group!  Although…if  I’m being honest,  one of my biggest goals is to learn to follow a partner instead of always trying to lead.

The ELECTRICITY is back for the 18^th Anniversary of Dancing With The Giordano Stars!

A group of Chicago A-listers take the stage with a Giordano professional dancer for a shot at winning the coveted disco ball. The stakes are high with each couple performing only one dance for one chance to impress our guest judges. There are also special awards for most money raised and audience favorite. Support your favorite Star and stay to dance the night away! 

Dancing With The Giordano Stars fundraising supports GDC's transformative initiatives. Through our Youth Arts Education Fund, we illuminate the path for the next generation with innovative programs such as the CPS Jazz Dance/Science & Health, GDC's Free Ticket Program, dynamic dance workshops, enriching mentorship partnerships, immersive school residencies, and the esteemed NGCP® certification.
