Don was born and raised in Jefferson Park and, save for an 11 year sabbatical in Wrigleyville and Rogers Park, has lived here has entire life (58 years). I’m a graduate of Our Lady of Victory, Loyola Academy, and Northwestern University and somehow have managed to work for the same company for 41 years. I’m married with two children and LOVE taking long walks and watching live music.
Don joined JPF, and eventually ran to be a Director, to become a larger contributor to JPF because he believes it is a valuable organization that helps bring both a sense of pride and community to the Jefferson Park neighborhood. Now, as Vice President, he hopes to impart a feeling of positivity among both residents and businesses to strengthen engagement across all areas of the neighborhood.
