I am the senior shareholder and president of Schmidt, Rupke, Tess-Mattner & Fox, S.C.  Please visit our website at and go to my attorney profile for a detailed resume about me.  I am an honest and hard working lawyer.

In addition to practicing law, I am an arts and education advocate, and serve on the Board of Directors of the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra and the Sally Ride Academy.  I also play the trombone for fun in several community orchestras and bands, and organize a trombone choir in the summer in Milwaukee.

I enjoy bicycling, and took two years off between college and law school to try to make the 1976 Olympic Cycling team.  Now, I try to keep up with my son in law on the numerous 100 mile long charity rides or fun rides we do together each year.
