On July 6, Skiba, who is head of security for Calamos Properties, helped save a woman’s life at the Calamos Investments headquarters building, located at 2020 Calamos Court. When the woman fell to the floor, unconscious, Skiba immediately began performing CPR and delivered three successful full cardiac shocks with an automated external defibrillator. Once Naperville Fire Department authorities arrived on the scene, they continued to aid the woman, who made a full recovery.
Skiba, a retired Villa Park police officer, was given a plaque to commemorate the heroic act.
