Other fun facts to know about Robert: He's a trained operatic tenor, a "Second City" alumnus, and ran (unsuccessfully) for Wheaton, IL City Council in 2017. Running for local office afforded Mr. McNeily first-hand experience and exposure to city government and how it impacts the daily lives of residents.
