Personal Summary: I started my career with Niles Park District as a facility coordinator. Next I worked at Stateville Prison for 1 year as a leisure time coordinator. Next I worked for Olympia Fields Park District as an Assistant Director for 17 years. Next I worked for Blue Island as Director for 1 year. Next I am now Working for Hampshire Park District as Executive Director I have been here for almost 3 years. My motivation for being a mentor is to teach or give advice to Recreation proffessionals whom are looking for knowledge that college does not teach them. Many years at conferance I talk to students that are only taught text book knowledge. I know I have a working knowlwdge of over 20 years that I can offer any person. My interests are spending time with my son who is 14 years old, working out,cycling and umpiring in the summer.
