Values the importance of family relationships
Devin comes from the North Shore. Growing up with two younger brothers, Devin has always been a natural care-taker and leader. While growing up, Devin moved from Ohio, Connecticut, Montana, Wisconsin and finally Illinois. During these moves in his adolescent years, he learned the importance of friends & family support during times of transition and change. His personal motto: “always support the family.”
