Where did you grow up?
I grew up on a small farm west of Indianapolis in Hendricks County, about an hour away from Bloomington.
What did you study/what were you interested in?
I studied biology, chemistry & computer science. I’m interested in creative childrearing, politics, sustainable agriculture, food & drink, public administration, astrobiology and miscellanea.
What were you up to before Cardinal?
Before Cardinal, I was IT Director at City of Bloomington, partner at Stranger’s Hill Organics farm, Monroe County Democratic Party Chairperson and a Monroe County Council Member. I was also a home brewer, mead maker & beekeeper contemplating starting up a small distillery.
What do you do at Cardinal/elsewhere?
At Cardinal, I am a founder and partner. I continue to work at the City of Bloomington as IT Director/CIO and as a partner at Stranger’s Hill Organics farm too. Home and family life with my wife Debby and our young daughters, Juniper & Genevieve, is my main focus these days, and I am a happily retired politician.
Do you have thoughts about Cardinal or life you want to share, yearbook-style?
Cardinal has become a wonderful part of the fabric of life in Bloomington and that’s a credit to everyone on staff.
