I grew up in Normal, Illinois and worked with my father's family farm in Carlock and Eureka, Illinois. While teaching various law and business courses at local colleges, I entered private practice in Illinois in 2000.
I have a lovely wife and two wonderful children. I spend most of my spare time with my family, working on our 21 lot residential subdivision at Cobblestone Lake (www.visitcobblestonelake.com) and doing charitable work.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Any time I have a legal matter with Darrell on the other side, I know that he's going to work hard on behalf of his client and that he's going to be honest with me. It makes my job easier when I have an honest, hardworking lawyer to deal with.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
Darrell and I met through the Illinois State Bar's great online discussion group for transactional attorneys. Subsequently we have met in person, exchanged advice by telephone and email, and he joined the Institute for Illinois Business Laws, bringing a wealth of experience in matters relating to Illinois' huge farming community. Darrell is a very capable, highly ethical attorney who is also a friendly, outgoing person, and fun to know. Although his is a fine lawyer, he is also a working farmer. He has strong family values. He lives his beliefs. I admire him greatly.
