rich past and vibrant culture. As the CEO and chief storyteller at Chicago Mahogany Tours, he’s turned his love of everything Chicago into an Emmy Award-winning celebration of his mission to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself. He shares with Jeanne how his devotion to Chicago history started: why he compares his child-raising philosophy to bowling; how he uses the power of history to cross bridges; how history hurts and his goal to change it; and why he feels he owes Chicago more than he could ever give back.
