I got my BA in English Literature from Augustana in 1987 and did graduate work in English Literature at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.
I've lived in Chicago since 1991. My career is in Development and Fundraising, specializing in Corporate and Foundation Relations. Currently I work for Old Town School of Folk Music, the largest community music school in the nation.
Prior to that, I spent 3 years working for Chicago's Merit School of Music and 7 years working for The Night Ministry, a program that serves homeless youth and adults on Chicago's nighttime streets.
I live with my partner Dan on Chicago's north side with our two cats. Dan is an artist. We are both very active at All Saints' Episcopal Church in Chicago.
