I grew up in New Hampshire, and after serving overseas in the Army for four years, I returned home to pursue my undergraduate degree with help from the GI Bill. I moved to New Jersey after college to work for a mortgage lending company. I eventually started my own mortgage company but grew dissatisfied with the profession. I saw firsthand how the industry was giving loans to people who had no means to ever repay the debt. I knew the industry would take a turn for the worse and decided I was going to be ready when it did.
I went to law school at night while supporting my family during the day. Upon graduation I sold my company and started my new carrear in law. My practice focuses on insolvency matters – which includes Bankruptcy, Assignments for the Benefit of Creditors, receiverships, etc. I have a passion for what I do, and more than anything, I find it rewarding to help good people in unfortunate circumstances find solutions to overwhelming debt.
