Timothy Borich

Personal:

It’s been an interesting 68 years. Married my wonderful wife of 46 years, Jeanette (Bowman) Borich. You know you have married well if you are residing with her during COVID and it still feels like you are on an extended date. Our three great children, Genevieve Clare, Anthony Bowman, and Jean Marie keep us young, and our three beautiful grandchildren Leah, Oliver, and David keep us moving.

We currently split our time between two households in Galena, Illinois and Chicago (not too far from Wrigley Field). Genevieve and her husband Darren own Coady’s Point of View resort in northern Wisconsin. Tony and Marina are here in Chicago with Tony serving as an in-house attorney for a large architectural firm. Jean resides in Richmond, VA where she works as Marketing Manager online for a medical data firm. Jean has recently become engaged to her love Andy Cook.

Professional:

Post O’Gorman... I finished my Bachelor’s degree at SDSU, Master’s Degree at USD, and Ph.D. at Iowa State University. The focus of my career has been on community development and rural development. Positions held include Policy Analyst (State of South Dakota), Community Development Specialist (Iowa State University Extension), Assistant Director (North Central Regional Center for Rural Development), Associate Professor (tenured) ISU Department of Community and Regional Planning, Associate Dean for Research and Outreach, ISU College of Design, Director, ISU Extension Community and Economic Development. Even though our current residence is Illinois, I’m still teaching part-time as an Associate Professor. I am retired from my administrative and Extension positions at ISU. The university has been sending me pay check for over 42 years.

Personal and professional travels have included Yucatan, China, Rome, Quebec, Ireland, Spain, the Canary Islands, and all 48 of the lower states.
