Hobby/passion: “I love to find new music, and I listen to a wide variety of genres. I am a long-time supporter of Radio Milwaukee and enjoy their 88Nine and Hyphen stations, and I use Twitter to follow musicians who have wide-ranging tastes, like Jason Isbell and Elvis Costello, and then sample the artists I hear about, hoping to find my next favorite.”
First car: “1976 Ford Pinto. I drove it the last two years of law school and my first four weeks as an attorney.”
As you enter your office, what would you choose to be your walk-up or theme song: “‘Let the Day Begin,’” a hit for The Call in 1986, but as a walk-up song I prefer the version by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It has great energy.”
Nonprofit cause: “JobsWork MKE is a remarkable organization. Founded on the principle of grace with accountability, JobsWork MKE takes an intensive, holistic approach to helping motivated people overcome barriers to long-term employment.”
