He'll regale us with tales from his storied career at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, at Barrington's White House third floor ballroom.
Fencik played football at Barrington High School and later went to Yale University to continue his football career.
Fencik was picked by the Miami Dolphins in the 1976 NFL draft before coming to the Bears, where he played free safety for 12 years and is still the team leader in interceptions and total tackles.

Following his football career, Fencik has worked in the finance industry. Before joining Adams Street Partners in 1995, Fencik worked with Wells Fargo and UBS. He has also worked as a sports commentator, mainly on WGN radio, where he was a color commentator on Bears radio broadcasts from 1990-1993.
During the 1988 NFL season, he paired with James Brown as an NFL television commentator on CBS.
