Personal:  I enjoy living in northern Indiana in the eastern corn belt of the Midwest with my beautiful wife Therese, sons, Patrick, Brendan and  daughters, Anna and Elena.  I enjoy playing piano, organ and violin.  If you come to Warsaw please stop and listen to our local community orchestra which I am privileged to have the opportunity to play in, Symphony of the Lakes.  My family and I enjoy camping, sports and exercise throughout the Midwest and beyond.
