Greg Lisinski:  

Well, my story let's see... I am living in north suburban Chicago and have been living here since 1980. I have been married since then as well and we have three kids, although with one working in Milwaukee (He is a radio deejay) and two in college, we are pretty much empty nesters. My younger son is a senior at Indiana and my daughter is studying in Japan. So for now, it's me, my wife and the three-legged dog we got from the shelter. I have been an attorney since 1981 and before finishing my education I was in the US Army for two years. I started out as your basic "downtown" attorney, serving as an Assistant Cook County State's Attorney and doing some time in a law firm on LaSalle Street. I have been a solo practitioner since 1991. I have always been involved in sports somehow and that has taken me from football to hockey to biking, roller blading, running (then walking) and now its golf. When I turned 40 I declared that I would go back to playing hockey. I played until I was 47. For 9 years I either coached or ran the hockey program at Robert Crown Sports Complex and ran the summer Camp and taught skating. I absolutely loved working with kids (sometimes the parents not so much). For a while there I thought I had missed my calling and should have been a teacher or a coach. But I like practicing law as well so it's fine. When I left coaching I spent a number of years as a Boy Scout Leader and still have my hand in it from time to time. That led to my participating in two two-week "High Adventure Treks", backpacking in the Sangre de Cristo mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch. The first time I learned the joys of altitude sickness. Fun. Glad they have pills for that. In 2007 and 2008, I was Commander of the local American Legion Post (having served in the Vietnam era) and am still active in the American Legion. Since 2002, my free time has been built around golf. I practice it, exercise for it, take lessons to improve, practice some more and sometimes even play. After seven years of doing that, I have been fortunate to finally have broken 80 this season (2009). ...Expand for more
