“My fondest memories, and many lessons learned, took place in the fraternity house. ‘Surround yourself with good people’ has always resonated and my classmates, friends and fraternity brothers were just that,” says the founder/CEO of Glen Ellyn-based Pure Processing LLC.

“I would be remiss to not give honorable mention to my social outlet — C.O Daniels, RIP.
