  • Downers Grove, IL

I'm a regional editor for Patch, responsible for a number of Web sites in Chicago's western suburbs. I've worked in community journalism, starting in the mid-'70s, as a reporter and editor for weekly newspapers. We began with typewriters, moved on to computers and now many of us have left paper behind and migrated to the Web. I've lived here in the Chicago area all of my life, surrounded by family, friends and good neighbors and there's no place else I'd rather be.
