Profile:

Harding working guy in the far western suburbs of Chicago and only about 45 minutes north of the Chicagoland Speedway. I am a Director of Finance at a Regional Office of Education for school districts. My wife and I have one son who will be 10 in February of ‘08 and who’s biggest hero is Jeff Gordon. The one thing I had wished for was to have met Benny Parsons before he died this year. I have a home with a 42" round above ground pool and three cats that live with us.
