I am a self-employed attorney in Libertyville, Illinois.

Even though I live in the nothern suburbs of Chicago, I grew up in the southwest suburbs, which makes me a lifelong White Sox fan. As a Catholic and a conservative, I believe there is such a thing as objective truth and the necessity for every human being to exercise true human freedom, but not license; and for everyone to follow his conscience, but only a well-formed conscience.

I'm married, and have three beautiful children, ages 7, 4, and 2 years old.

Oh, and as a first generation Irish-American from the southside of Chicago, I can attest that a properly poured pint of Guinness is the greatest drink known to mankind.
