Stephen Hoffman

I am an avid athlete, who, prior to many injuries, competed in running road races as well as cycling and biathlon/triathlon races.  For many years, in my spare time, I taught as a Certified Spinning Instructor, hoping that my intensity and sense of humor will transfer to my students.  It’s a great social outlet and a superb way to relieve stress and connect with people!  Now, I take my intensity out on the roads with my bike, competing regularly in time trials (races against the clock).  My life experiences are diverse and have included travel and even the experience of being a teacher in an impoverished area. Additionally, I currently serve as the Chair of the Chicago Bar Association Solo and Small Practitioner’s Committee.  I am also an appointed member of the Chicago Bar Association Chicago Bar Foundation Task Force on Sustainable Practic of Law and Innovation. I reside in the Ravenswood Manor neighborhood of Chicago with my wife and our dog, Islay, and our cat, Wilson, all of whom allow me to share space with them.
