Chris Burton: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• The middle child of seven, I have five brothers and one sister
• A classically trained journalist who reads too much news 
• A lover of live music. There is not a concert I will not attend.
• An explorer of new places; the best way to explore a new city is on foot
• A naturally curious person, and I always have a follow-up question 
• A food enthusiast, giving restaurant recommendations is my love language 
• A morning meditator, it sets the trajectory of my day 
• A former state prosecutor. I prosecuted criminal cases in Cook County.
• The funniest person I know, give me five minutes and I will make you laugh
• A person who tries to leave every spot better than I found it – friendly reminder – kindness goes a long way
