My Background

I graduated from DePauw University earning a B.A. in History then to Indiana University School of Law receiving my J.D.  After graduation, I had the privilege of working for the Illinois Attorney General in the Consumer Protection Division leaving the AG office after four years to join a small general practice firm.

My family made me an offer I could not refuse and I left the practice of law full time to work for the family printing business, Kubin-Nicholson, where I was an account manager, corporate counsel and member of the Board of Directors, a position I held for over 17 years.  Later, I worked for two internet start-up companies as both an attorney and in business development.  Currently, I am contract attorney for Axiom in ediscovery litigation services. 

I have been blessed with 4 children.  I have a daughter who is a junior at ETHS, a son at the Easter Seal School in Chicago for Autism, a daughter in 8^th grade at Chute and a son in 4^th grade at King Lab.

I served on the St. Athanasius School Board in 2001.  I was a member of the Constitutional Rights Foundation that taught Constitutional principles to middle school students in Chicago.
