About me
I am a native Atlantan and the son of two lawyers. When I am not practicing law I like to spend time with my family. I also play basketball in weekly pick up games.
For the last four years I have coached my daughters soccer team in the Peachtree Road United Methodist Church league.
When I get the chance, I enjoy traveling and fishing.
