I'm one of Chicago's very own, born and raised in the Northside of Chicago. I reside in Lakewood Ranch, Florida, where I've lived since 2017. Even though I no longer live in Chi-town, I'm still a die-hard Bears, Bulls, Blackhawks, and Cubs fan. Portillo's has several Florida locations where I can get my Italian Beef and Chicago-style hot dog fix, and I hit up Giordano's whenever I'm in the Orlando area. My favorite pastime is watching my daughter play volleyball.
