Personal Interests & Charitable Work
My passion for serving the community stems from my roots in the West Side of Chicago, where I grew up as the grandson of a police chief and son of a detective. Dreams for Kids, the nonprofit organization I founded in 1989, mentored and trained thousands of youth as social entrepreneurs, and I have represented thousands of police officers and other public servants. As an adjunct professor at DePaul University, I am dedicated to teaching entrepreneurship and social innovation. My mission is to educate and challenge expectations and empower people to live the American Dream and pass it on to future generations. With the proper guidance and determination, anyone can achieve their goals and make a difference.
