Following H.S., I attended college at Marquette and then Loyola-Marymount University in Los Angeles, where I earned my B.A. and Masters Degree. After 3 years in banking, I moved to Dallas where I worked for the U.S. Chamber. Met my wife in TX and then back to DC in 1982 where I have lived ever since. I started Leading Authorities, Inc. in 1990, an events and media company. It's been a lot of fun. I have three children and one grand daughter and a wonderful wife. Travel the world, like to ski, have a motor bike, love politics, and like to read!
