Colin Davis, Copywriter
After several years as a political campaign critter, Colin has spent nearly a decade in higher education fundraising and has the grey hairs to prove it. Seriously, he doesn’t even get carded anymore. He enjoys traveling, especially for photography or Bruce Springsteen and literally chases storms across the country. He’s an avid Chicago sports fan and spends falls and winters broadcasting high school sports on the radio. Colin and his wife, Katey, are owned by their German shepherd, two cats, and daughter. Colin used to play baseball and misses it dearly, and he doesn’t play golf; golf plays him.
