I went to Andrean, a Catholic high school in Merrillville. My main interests during that era included football, rock music and weightlifting. I was a good-enough football player to receive AP Honorable-mention All-state recognition, but not good-enough to attract much D-1 interest.
After high school, I attended Indiana University, Bloomington where I received an accounting degree with distinction. Concurrent with graduation, I sat for and passed the CPA exam. That was a busy summer, as my high school sweetheart Ellen and I were married too. We then moved to Central Illinois to start our careers.
I began my career with the CPA firm KPMG, where I became an equity partner at age 33. Through a series of sales/mergers, I ultimately landed at the accounting firm BKD, LLP (now Forvis), where I was their National Partner in Charge of Taxation. Since then, I authored a book titled "50 Shades of Sales" and have performed select consulting services.
Ellen and I have been a couple for 50 years and married for 45 of them. She is the best woman on planet earth! We have five children, all millennials and Gen Z. We also are blessed to have three grandchildren.- Term Limit Congress - Start Solving Our Real Problems
- We Will Reform the Higher Education Loan Program - and Create a New Higher Education Alternative
- Initiate Legal Reforms to Improve Public Safety and Media Integrity
No doubt, each president has had a role in this mess. But the real culprits driving your pain are the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate . . . our Congress. The government branch that determines how we spend money. We need to send them packing. We must term-limit Congress.
Regular people often see eye-to-eye on many things—including the need for term limits . . . with 76% of Dems, 89% of GOP members and 83% of independents wanting to term-limit Congress.
That is why I’m seeking the open seat for U.S. Congress in Indiana’s 5th District. I’m running for the Republican nomination on a platform to term-limit Congress, and then, solve our real problems.
