I have been married to my wife, Shelley, for 30 years, and we have 5 wonderful kids:
Aubrey, 25, is studying Economic Development in Columbus, Ohio. Ryan, 23, is a student at the University of Illinois Champaign and an Air National Guard Veteran of Afghanistan. Jacob, 20, is a student at Cedarville University, in Cedarville Ohio. Lindsey, 17, is a junior at Morton High School. Mahaela, 14, is in 8th grade at Morton Junior High.
We have a love for adoption as well. Our youngest was adopted from Bulgaria in 2010.
DEEP TIES TO THE DISTRICT
I was born and raised in Morton, Illinois. Both of my medical residencies (emergency medicine and anesthesiology), were at Indiana University in Indianapolis.
I lived for 15 years in Mackinaw, IL, but moved back to Morton in 2018. We are members of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Groveland. I own hunting land with friends in both Tremont and Hopedale.
My wife grew up in Tremont, but moved to Morton six years ago.
