Michele Bax: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A mom of three amazing kids—even though they are traitors and cheer on the 49ers. I am also married to a first-generation American.
• A Northwest Indiana girl but a die-hard Bears fan
• A Butler undergrad alumnus and attended Indiana University Indianapolis for law school
• An avid traveler but I ‘beach’ best
• A scuba diver and wine aficionado, but never do them at the same time
• A fan of bubblegum-style TV—especially reality shows
• The owner of three rescue dogs and surprised my family when I brought them home
• Someone who built a wine cave and a lazy river in my backyard
• Passionate about fashion and try not to blend in
• A party-planner and always have a theme
