Occupation: Director of Electro Medical Operations.
Road to the Finals: Qualified first in the Reno Hilton Summer Showdown on June 20-21.
Bio: Lived near Arlington Park and went over to the track with a friend in 1976 and won his first bet. Still remembers betting on a race at Hawthorne and having a huge lead coming down the stretch when the horse jumped the rail. That race reminds him that "there are no sure things in racing."
