Well, let's see. Although I was born in Oak Park (Illinois, USA), we were living in the city, a half block north of Wrigley Field (home of the Chicago Cubs) at the time. We would later move out of the city, to a small cul-de-sac in McHenry County. I went to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades in a small farming community in Northern Illinois. It was there that my mom and dad decided to call it quits, and the beginning of our migration back towards Chicago. We arrived in Chicago in the Uptown neighborhood as I was attending 5th grade. By the time I was in 7th, we were on the move again, this time a little bit north, to Rogers Park. I went to high school there. I was all over the place during a stint in the Navy, but returned back to this area when I got out. With the exception of a year in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods would be my home for many years. Then, about four years ago, my current wife and I bought a house and moved back out to McHenry County.
By my third month as a high school freshman, I had attended eight different schools!
