eugene's Story
I went to Blackburn College, received BAs in Art and Economics and then went to Northern Illinois University where I got my MA in Art (printmaking).
I worked mostly in publishing in advertising and marketing and learned to write somewhere along the way.
I am currently the Communications Director for the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters which represents 31,000 union men and women in three states who swing a hammer for a living. I publsih a magazine, a couple of email newsletters and two websites. I also do videos, webinars, advertisng and public relations.
As an avid cyclist I ride a three-wheeled trike between 5,000 and 6,000 miles year-round, including daily commutes along Chicago's lakefront ... polar vortexes included.

e in Illinois who have fled Southern Sudan and Darfur is one of my most rewarding experiences. I give Sudan presentations at churches and community groups with my Sudanese friends on the problems facing them in Darfur, South Sudan and the United States.
My son Sean and I work together on the Abolition Institute which seeks to end slavery in the west African nation of Mauritania.
As a founding member of Bike Uptown it is our goal to advocate for calmer Uptown streets for walking, biking and using transit. I am a Positive Loiterer and facilitate CAPS (Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy) meetings; both work together to create safer neighborhoods.
My photography chronicles Chicago's lakefront through my daily rides. I just self-published my first photo-book on the history of my Chicago neighborhood: Sweet Home Buena Park.
