I cannot believe that I was older than 12 in that yearbook picture! Wow.

After SHG, I learned how to study and eventually graduated from law school, cum laude. I've spent my entire career as a prosecutor ... now as an Asst. US Atty. in the Southern District of Illinois (10 miles or so from St. Louis)

I had more fun in my 20's than I should have! Those were fun times ... Plenty of bars, a few triathlons, a bunch of murder cases, and a teaching gig at the Univ of IL at Spfld.

But then one day, I found myself questioning a prospective juror prior to starting an armed violence trial. Yada, yada, yada ... Amy and I have been married for about 3 1/2 years and she's the best thing that's ever happened to me (well, tied with our gorgeous little girl, Claire). Claire-bear is 20 mos. old, and her brother (likely to be named Jake) will be joining our family about a week before the reunion, so excuse me if I am sleep deprived at the reunion! We built a house in O'Fallon, IL and couldn't be happier.

I'm looking forward to this summer!

Freshman year, I pulled a rather inappropriate prank on one of our classmates in the hallway in between classes to the amusement of many of us immature guys ... but, that is not the funny part.

The funny part was that afternoon after I got home, I got a call from Mr. Schierholtz demanding that I come in at 7:30 and scrub lockers as a punishment for my mean prank. Humbled, I apologized and accepted my punishment.

I arrived at Dean Belz's office promptly at 7:30 and I told him why I was there. He smirked, pointed me to the 409, and told me to get to work. It wasn't until I had been scrubbing for about a half hour that I noticed the collection of guys hanging out by Dean Belz's office laughing hysterically at me from down the hallway.

It turns out, that Eric Hurshman (I think it was him) was able to impersonate Mr. Schierholtz's voice, and screwed me pretty good ... I guess I had it coming!
