After graduating from ETHS, I attended Western Illinois University and graduated from WIU in 1977. Upon returning to Evanston, I worked for three years at the Washington National Insurance Company. Subsequently, I relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico and graduated from The University Of New Mexico with a law degree in 1986. Currently, I'm enjoying retirement after having worked as a felony trial lawyer in the Albuquerque NM District Attorney's Office for 25 years.
