After Don graduated from IU in 2000, he spent the winter as a ski bum in Beaver Creek, CO. With nothing else to do, Don went to law school at the University of Colorado, where he (re-)met his soon-to-be wife Erica. Since law school graduation in 2004, Don has been a Deputy District Attorney in Jefferson County, Colorado, putting evil-doers behind bars. Don’s first son James (favorite song: Sweet Baby James) was born in April of 2007, and his little brother Charlie (favorite song: Bad Romance) was born in February of 2009.
