You've lived in Chicago, New York, and L.A. What are some pros and cons to all locations and which is your favorite?

"This is a tough question because I have always felt that NYC was home — it must have been in a past life. But Chicago has given me so much and I think I was meant to be here. Being from the Midwest, it is a great honor to be making a difference in my hometown — however small it may be. L.A. is beautiful, but it is hard to travel as much as I do and be based so far from family. I think it has been a long road leading me home to Chicago. Barring a surprise move overseas, I feel I will be here for a long time."
