Max Louis: I Am Barnes & Thornburg

I AM...

• A Chicago native and love the city as if it were a family member
• The son of a Haitian immigrant and grandson of Jamaican immigrants, but my French Creole and Jamaican Patois leave much to be desired
• A Loyola University alumni and ambassador; I graduated as a non-traditional student in 2022
• A lover of spicy food, and I incorporate it into most things I cook and order
• A firm believer in having a growth mindset; our traits and aptitudes are not fixed
• Prone to travel wherever I have an acquaintance, be it domestic or abroad
• Not a "gym rat," but I have developed a routine for functional exercise
• A food and beverage industry vet and have worked at many music festivals over the years
• A Chicago Bulls and Bears fan longing for a winning season
• A member of the office’s Racial Social Justice Committee Book Club and the softball team (Go Barnstormers!!)
