I was born and raised in Richland County.  I attended the University of Illinois, graduating from what is now known as the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences, and, three years later, from the University of Illinois College of Law.  I practiced law in the Chicago office of Kirkland & Ellis for a couple years before starting my practice in Olney in 2003.  My wife, Jennifer, and I live in rural Richland County with our two very young daughters.  In addition to spending time with my family, I enjoy tending to our surrounding acreage and recycling scrap metal.
