My Cherokee name is Galegi, and I am from the rural community of Monrovia, Indiana. I grew up amid a plethora of family farms, and I found work from many of the area farmers doing various activities. After high school, I worked in a variety of industries that included: farm labor, computer hardware and software sales, corporate health insurance marketing, and financial services brokerage. After many corporate relocations and years of weekly air and ground travel, I decided to return school to complete my bachelor's degree in business management at the University of Denver (DU). I graduated DU, Magna Cum Laude, with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree. Encouraged by several DU professors to advance my education, I matriculated to Indiana University's Maurer School of Law. After I finished the three year post-graduate program, I received my Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. After graduation, I moved with my wife to Minnesota and Michigan where I worked in the legal industry, in small business consulting, and at a private university teaching business law, microeconomics, and management courses. Currently residing in Indiana, my various activities include consulting, weightlifting, running, reading, researching the early Christian Church, riding my Harley, and living my Cherokee heritage.
