Why did you become an attorney?
Lawyers play an important role in avoiding and resolving disputes. I wanted to help people and businesses wade through difficult issues and decisions, and now I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to do so.
What is the best part of your job?
Hearing stress and anxiety leave a client’s voice after a successful effort on that client’s behalf.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I spend every minute I can with my wife and three children. We enjoy time together outdoors and keeping up with college football and basketball. My wife and I particularly enjoy watching and helping our kids take care of, hunt with, and have fun with our family’s three bird dogs.
