What do you like most about living and having a business in Bloomington/Monroe County?
I enjoy Bloomington because of the quality of life, the beauty of the surroundings, the changing of the seasons, Indiana University and all that it offers, and of course, Hoosier hospitality.

Are you an IU grad? If so, when did you graduate? Degree?
I graduated from Indiana University in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in marketing.

Fondest IU memory?
My fondest memory of IU has to be donning an IU tennis uniform for the first time. My experiences with my fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta, and my role as a member of IU Student Foundation Steering Committee were both memorable.

Why did you choose to be a Corporate Sponsor of the Monroe County Chapter of the IUAA?
I appreciate the opportunity to give back and support Indiana University and its giving arm that has been so good to me, my wife, and two of my children. Go Hoosiers!
