Lori Dake - John Springer

Hello and welcome!

I'm a Pagan work at home, homeschooling mom to my fifteen year old son here in Chicago, and together with my husband, we run an indie metal label. Back when I worked outside the home, I was a paralegal for nearly seven years, working for a high volume collections firm downtown, directly under their main trial attorney. I also did reception and retail sales for a high-end pool table showroom for a while and also handled data entry and hand-painted Mass cards for a Catholic prayer enrollement and retreat center. As a kid, I was between working for my uncle's pizza shop and hustled my way in and out of taverns, selling chocolates and gift items, helping to contribute my family's financial needs, including helping to pay for my own tuition.

I enjoy entertaining and catering dishes for large groups of people, especially vegetarian foods. We travel quite a bit to various shows, and we're always on the lookout for the best deals on hotels, when we're not out camping, either for personal vacations or at music festivals! I write constantly and have volumes of hand-written journals at home, as well as as freelance writer to numerous publications, so be on the lookout for me!

I hope you find my content informative and helpful! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns! Thanks!
