| Jaime and Rob both attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) (Rob from 1994-1998 and Jaime from 1996-2000), but the two never met, even though they knew many of the same people. On a weekend trip back to Champaign Jaime ran into her AEPhi pledge mom, Ronit Selinger, at the renowned hangout Bub's (RIP). Ronit was with her then-boyfriend, now husband, Dan Ripes, a friend of Rob's from Sammy's. They told Jaime they had someone to set her up with: Rob Wittenberg. Rob called Jaime, and the pair had their first date on Sunday, March 4th, 2001, at the Green Mill for drinks. Although the evening was fun and the conversation enjoyable, Jaime was not sure if Rob was interested in her. Sure enough, he asked her on a date the next weekend and the weekend after that... the rest is history! |

| I was born in Park Ridge, IL, at Lutheran General Hospital on April 19, 1978 with only peach fuzz covering my head. After 6 months living in Wheeling and about 5 years in Northbrook, I grew some hair and moved to Highland Park. I became interested in teaching as I progressed through elementary school, junior high and high school (Highland Park High School) and forced my sister, Mara, to be my pupil while I played teacher. Because I knew I wanted to work with kids, I majored in elementary education at UIUC. Since graduating college in 2000, I have been teaching second grade at Rockland School in Libertyville. I am currently in the process of getting my Masters in Reading at National Louis University so I can become a reading specialist. I live with Rob in Sandburg Village in Chicago. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I was born in Evanston, IL , on February 11, 1976. After a 6 month stint in Chicago, my family moved to the small mining town of Winnetka, 20 miles north of the Windy City. Aside from spending first grade in Paris, France, I matriculated through the Winnetka school system and graduated from New Trier High School in 1994. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I studied Pyschology at UIUC and spent a semester abroad at Tel Aviv University, Israel. Confident and aimless, I dabbled in radio production at WGN & WSCR, radio sales at WCKG, project management (including web-design) and - most importantly - improv at Chicago's very own Second City Training Center. After meeting my future wife in 2001, I began working for Walgreens and became interested in pharmacy. A physics-organic chemistry-anatomy-physiology-PCAT later I began full time instruction at the College of Pharmacy at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC)... and that's where I am now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
