I grew up in Orland Park and now live in Riverside with my family. Missy and I met in college, at the University of Notre Dame. We got married in 2004 and have four wonderful kids. Originally from Portland, Oregon, Missy taught at Chicago Public Schools for six years before having our first child and taking over the local PTO.
If I’m not in the office, you’ll often find me with Missy and the kids near our home in Riverside. Dylan plays Volleyball and Soccer at Riverside-Brookfield High School; Avery loves Cheer and Gymnastics; Emma Rose has us running between basketball and soccer; and Tommy competes in baseball and basketball. As a family, we love traveling. Our favorite trips are ski weekends and once/year trips to Europe. We also love ordering in Thai and movie nights at home. We've got a few more years before the kids start going off to college, and we are really enjoying our time together.
When Dr. Terrassa is willing to hold down the practice, the family and I are lucky enough to travel. We’ve done mostly easy, domestic trips but now that the kids are older, we’re excited to be looking at some more adventurous travels. It is important to Missy and I to be good role models for our kids. That’s my #1 priority in life. After that, I am interested in building relationships with good people: I am a big proponent of the concept “You are who you surround yourself with”. On a more superficial level, I love sports. Go Bears! Go Sox! Go Irish!
