“I grew up in a factory town where people had to work hard to provide for themselves and their families. My father was a school teacher and he instilled in me that getting an education was very important. I acquired an outstanding work ethic through athletics. I worked in the factories during the summer months while going to school.”

“I have always wanted to be the person others could rely on when they need help. After nearly being killed and suffering severe injuries in a motorcycle accident while in college, I sought the advice of an attorney who aided me in navigating the process and took the burden off of me, allowing me to focus on healing. Becoming an attorney has allowed me to feel as though I am not only legal counsel for someone I am but also an advocate for that person and a voice when needed, which is a very rewarding experience.”
