A 4th-generation Chicagoan, J.R. grew up in the River North and Gold Coast areas.

J.R. has worked in politics, finance, and most recently real estate development. He brings a wide variety of knowledge on the downtown Chicago market, especially the luxury downtown high-rise buildings.

His earliest Chicago memories mostly involve sports at the Chicago Stadium and the pre-spaceship Soldier Field, and his first word was "Ditka," followed shortly after by "Mom" and "Dad."
