• Organization of a new limited liability company, negotiation and drafting of related operating agreement, and regular general counsel advice for an entrepreneur starting her “dream business.”
• Advising and representing a European client in its acquisition and divestiture of United States business interests.
• Representation of a United States consumer products manufacturer in its international licensing and contract manufacturing agreements.
• Sell side and buy side drafting and negotiating of letters of intent, purchase agreements and business terms in business sales varying in size from just under $1,000,000 to $40,000,000 in electronics, computer technology, consumer goods, construction, medical, professional services, and various other industries.

I attended law school at the University of Connecticut School of Law where I was a member of the Insurance Law Journal and was published as a case editor for “Fidelity & Surety Digest,” which focuses on construction and financial services bonding requirements. I have also engaged in various pro bono activities including as a volunteer attorney with the Connecticut Urban Legal Initiative, Inc. and as a member of the board at New Life Christian Fellowship of Connecticut, Inc.

I currently live just outside of Hartford, Connecticut with my wife and four children. When I am not in the office I am often exhausted by my kids while playing, trying to play golf, making furniture, or engaging in any activity that presents a challenge to overcome.
