I have struck a city-a real city-and they call it Chicago
About
I have been in the tourism field for 22 years. I love showing the ins and outs of Chicago, with my guests. Whether it is a walking tour, step on guide or just a meet-n-greet, my goal is to highlight what makes Chicago great. My family has lived in Chicago for 106 years, so I bring a very personal perspective that you cannot find with other guides. I love to connect the past with the present and help people to understand how we got to where we are. Passion is my driving force. When I am on the road, whether it is Springfield, Il or Washington D.C., that same sense of passion comes through. History informs us about our past, helps us understand the present and guides us into the future. I'm certified in Chicago, licensed in DC and do tours in Springfield, IL, Milwaukee, St Louis, Louisville, Nashville and Philadelphia.
