I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I graduated from Northern Illinois University in 1992, and my first job was with ADP payroll. In 2005, I moved to sunny San Diego to start my first payroll company, AmCheck, which was later acquired in 2018.

As the oldest of five brothers, I’ve always had a strong sense of family and community.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling to new destinations, staying active through fitness, exploring the local restaurant scene, and admiring architectural marvels. Currently, I reside in the Little Italy neighborhood downtown, but my heart will always belong to my hometown teams, the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears.
