I was born in Pennsylvania and raised in West Virginia and Indiana. I sort of had a Norman Rockwell childhood. My mother was always there. My dad was a research chemist, working 9 to 5. They both came from farms. It was a good way to grow up. I’m glad I was raised in that environment, but I cut the apron strings at 17. I was in Valparaiso, Indiana, until I was 26. A good friend bought an Ugly Duckling rent-a-car enterprise and I helped him with that for a few years. I always had a love for cars. My dad was a backyard mechanic and we bonded working on a ‘65 Ford Falcon. At this agency, we built it up to a fleet of about 70 cars with franchises in Berwyn and Naperville. I’ve always had some sort of vintage car. I have a ‘66 Mustang right now.
