Life
Greetings all. Like many of you, I stayed in the Chicagoland area for quite some time after high school and college. I attended Millikin University in Decatur, IL and graduated with a degree in Personnel Management. After college I started a brief career in Retail Management (worked for K-Mart for almost 2 years) but then found my true calling in the insurance industry.
