Mr Pittman became a Business Teacher as a second career, after working many years for major advertising agencies producing advertising for brands such as Adidas, McDonalds, Boeing, and United Airlines. He likes to say "business requires knowledge, but it's also a way of thinking -- paying attention and learning from everything going on around us." He and his wife live in Elmhurst. They have two daughters and a son who are all post-college and pursuing their careers. The family recently added a rescue dog named 'Izzy' to the fray.
