I graduated from UW-Platteville-where I majored in Accounting-played College Basketball and met my future wife Francesca (my BEST friend)! We just celebrated our 34 Year Wedding Anniversary! We adopted our son Tyler (in 1990). We adopted our son Casey-from Colombia (in 1991). Our son Jordan was born in 1991. Our son Zachary was born in 1993. I have worked as an Accountant-since college graduation-currently the CFO of Day Care Services for Children, Inc.-where we provide Early Educational Programming-in Milwaukee. My wife Francesca is a former police officer (for 27 years) -who basically runs our household and keeps us 5 "boys" in line!

I have COACHED various youth sports (Basketball, Baseball) for both boys/girls for over 30 years-both in Menomonee Falls and in Milwaukee-where I work!

Most of my High School memories centered around the High School Sports Teams that I was FORTUNATE to be a member of including: Basketball-Baseball and Cross Country! I was truly blessed to play with MANY TREMENDOUS athletes and GREAT teammates-MANY of whom are LIFETIME friends! Our Basketball Teams (coached by Dave Dimick) were always VERY good and we enjoyed playing in front of PACKED gyms-with occasional appearances from the "Blues Brothers"! Our Baseball Teams were OUTSTANDING (coached by Ron Plahmer) - finishing 2nd in the STATE my Sophomore Year and winning the Braveland Conference Championship my Senior Year (that was a GREAT Team)! Our Cross Country Teams were always EXCELLENT (coached by Bob Rymer) - winning 4 consecutive Braveland Conference Championships AND finishing 1st-2nd-2nd and 2nd in the STATE Championships-my 4 years of High School!

I was generally "shy" in high school-but I have "outgrown" that characteristic (for sure)!

I do also fondly remember being a member of the High School "Math Team" -we wore computers on our belts. I am surprised that I was a member of the "Math Team" because Ms. Baker's Calculus class was the HARDEST class I ever took in my LIFE!
