My name is Glen Kato.  I was born at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn a few decades ago.  I am a product of an Oak Lawn public elementary school district and an area Catholic high school.  My first job was at an Oak Lawn pizza place that closed a few years ago.  That was my initial glimpse into small business and of course the art of making a stuffed pizza. 

Like many generation X’rs, I have had more than one career.  I have a degree in Journalism from Columbia College Chicago.  I worked as a Journalist for a few years and then moved on to some corporate jobs.  Those jobs had me living in a number of suburbs and Chicago neighborhoods.  This allowed me to get a nice taste of the cultures of many different Chicago communities.

In the early 2000’s I moved back to Oak Lawn.  I finished up a Master’s Degree in business.  I got involved in the Oak Lawn Chamber of Commerce.  In 2009, I served as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.  I was represented in the Chamber through my web design and marketing business.

I have met many people in Oak Lawn.  Even though I consider myself a citizen of the world, Oak Lawn is still very much at the core of who I am.
