Born and raised in the Peoria area, Dennis Triggs has traveled across the country and Europe to accomplish his goals. From Washington D.C. for law school and later to Germany for the Air Force—with a young family in tow—Triggs says he would have to live a thousand lives to pursue everything in which he has an interest. Now, as the senior member of the law firm Miller, Hall & Triggs, the father of two grown children said he has the opportunity to fulfill his civic responsibilities. Working with the Peoria Area World Affairs Council and the Central Illinois Chapter of the American Red Cross, Triggs said he is grateful to be able to give back to the community. He and his wife, Judy, live in Morton.
