CHRIS GARVEY

Watching my children grow and learn with their first friends, experience the parks, the activities in the schools, and want in life, I recognize the gift I was given. It truly dawned on me what a beautiful environment it is to be born in and then go on and raise my family here in Oak Park and River Forest. Let’s share this.

 When my grandfather decided to buy a house in Oak Park, to bring my father here, it was purposeful and it was to raise him with this idea that people from all over the world would come here and create a place like no other. A Place that has sought with a purpose to embrace diversity and all of the opportunities that it provides. Now it may have been that he just got lucky, but whatever he did, he found the right answer.
