Autorenporträt
I grew up in Oak Park, Illinois, the oldest of nine. My parents insisted on Catholic schools, and when I graduated from Notre Dame, I accepted a Rhodes Scholarship, contrary to the advice of my Irish grandparents, who thought I shouldn't study in England. After Yale Law School, I joined Mayer Brown LLP and enjoyed a forty-year commercial real estate practice among the Firm's outstanding and generous lawyers. I served for years as head of the real estate group, played third base on the Firm's 16-inch (no mitts) softball team, and enjoyed teaching analytics and writing to the younger real estate lawyers. I became a Board member and then Chair of IES Abroad, a study abroad organization for American college students; LINK Unlimited, a sponsoring/mentoring organization for African-American high school students; and The Arthur J. Schmitt Foundation, which encourages leadership programs in certain Chicago area Catholic high schools and colleges. I also founded and chair Rust Belt Rising, which helps Midwestern Democratic candidates win elections at all levels by focusing on the fundamental issues of working families. My wife and daughter are excellent published poets, and when I joined the Hope Town Writers Circle, I was drawn to writing poetry. These poems are the result. I hope you enjoy them.
