Hi, I'm Tom and I will eat anything except smoked oysters and brussel sprouts. I'm an un-complicated guy who likes to say things in very complicated ways... well, I'm not sure that it's because I "like" it, so much as I can't help it. One would think that the inability to control one's verbosity is a detrimental character flaw, but I find it sometimes adds excitement to what are otherwise boring interludes. True, the possibility exists that some will find it pedantic and condescending, but I like to think of it as "spice" on the giant tofu cube of everyday life. I live in Lisle with my beautiful wife Cindy, who has managed to put up with me for 7.5 years now. We have no dogs, no cats, 3 snakes, 6 centipedes, 5 tarantulas, and 4000 cockroaches. I love most music associated with the words "metal" or "core", and I can windmill kick you in the face. Lots of kids come to Campus Life, and today is the day you can decide to stop being the loser that doesn't. Haha...j/k...sorta

Where to begin... I am a Downers Grove native and a Downers Grove South alum (2004). One of my favorite moments from High School was driving the car I learned to drive in – a 1995 Ford Windstar that was green– to my Senior Prom. If my group was on time, we would have been in the Senior Video. I am full of different interests and talents. I am a deep thinker and like to have conversations about life and such. I also like playing sports like Ultimate, Football, and disc golf and I enjoy singing and music. Some of you may know me from DGS because I work there as a Student Supervisor. If you have any questions about that or just want to chat about life, just drop me a line and let me know.

Hi my name is Tony. I was born in South Carolina and lived overseas in Japan and Turkey growing up. I now live in Lombard with my lovely wife Kady and our fat cat Puma (13 pounds to be exact!) For my college years I attended Northwestern. No not the one in Chicago. It was actually in Orange City Iowa. Where is that, you might ask. It’s between the big cornfield and the bigger cornfield. Now I am a gym teacher at Ogden School in LaGrange and also a dance instructor at DLD dance center in Downers Grove. So if you want to learn how to shoot a basketball or improve your moonwalk, I’m your man. I am a Bears and a Bulls fan and will argue with you if you are not. One of my life goals is to walk away from an explosion calmly and in slo-mo (James Bond style) and if cookie dough ice cream is left in the same room with me it’s game over. I think that about does it. Come holla at me!

My name is Karis. I am a junior at Wheaton college, but I'm actually from Nebraska originally (Go Huskers!!). I run cross country and track--yes, I am one of those crazy runners and yes, I run around in circles, thanks for asking. I also love people, music, basketball, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, cooking and a whole lot of other things. I enjoy hanging out with CL students...especially if it involves ice cream, a good conversation, or just chillin'.

Hi, my name is Gary aka "Grandpa", you can find me every Monday night at the sign in table and believe me I've got your number! You'll have to come to Campus Life to find out what that means! By day I am a Superintendent for a commercial contractor...and I drive a truck! (that's right...a truck). My wife and I have lived in DG for 20 years and graduated 4 kids from DGN. I am a die hard Cubs and Bears fan, and my favorite ice cream is New York Cherry from Everyday's a Sundae.
