Occupation: Attorney at Law
Website: www.buckleylaw.net Marital Status: Married What is your spouse/partner's name (if applicable) and their occupation?: Susan, Customer Service Rep. and Artist What have you been up to since high school?: I've done a lot of things in the last 30 years, too many to recount, but here are a few. After I graduated from Northwestern University, I lived in Chicago for 4 years, working a number of temporary TV production jobs with no luck in making a permanent career. I then went to law school in Lansing, Michigan. After graduating I ended up going west all the way to Washington State with my girlfriend from law school. We were together for 8 "fiery" years, and in 1993 were foster parents to a Capuchin monkey (you know like the one in that Stephen King movie "Monkey Shines" except she wasn't an evil monkey…well most of the time). The monkey belonged to Helping Hands out of Boston, MA. They train monkeys to help aid quadriplegics by doing simple tasks and she lived with us to get used to being around humans in a home. Later the girlfriend left me and got married to someone else; then divorced after a year; then suffered a brain injury in a terrible pedestrian car accident; then got back with her ex-husband and moved away to Illinois. After that, the monkey went back to Boston University, for advanced training and placement. I think that monkey had as much schooling as I did, except I had to pay back my student loans. I was then fortunate to meet my wife Susan through, of all things, a video dating service. We have been married going on 10 years now. No kids or monkeys just two cats. We did a lot of hiking, camping and climbing in the Cascades. I've summit Mt. Rainier twice. It's really a scenic place even when it rains. Its different topography, (high desserts, mountains, rain forests, wind swept beaches) a whole new world for a Midwest boy, one that I appreciate seeing everyday. In 2002, and at the ripe age of 39, I joined the Army Reserve (you know one weekend a month two weeks a year) and was commissioned a JAG officer. Sue thought I was absolutely insane, but it was something I always wanted to do and I did not want to regret never having served and give something back. Anyway, in 2006 I ended up doing a "tour" (like it’s a vacation, right?) in Iraq. I got back and life went on as if nothing had happen. There were some days where I thought the entire thing was some dream. I was able to see some of this world since leaving Waukegan, having traveled to places like Rhode Island, Boston, Mass., New Hampshire, Florida, Virginia, Washington D.C., Texas, Oregon, California, Hawaii, Korea, Canada, Kuwait, Qatar and yes even Iraq. Now I work for a small law firm with a great bunch of professionals helping a lot of people (some very nice) with their legal problems. Every now and then I go into court and still get to be a trial lawyer (and one of the good guys if we win). What are your current hobbies and interests?: Traveling, spending time in the outdoors, hiking, camping, climbing, skiing, reading, visiting art galleries and museums. From Paul: You can thank Patti for tracking me down. Great job on the website. |
