We have 2 boys, ages 21 and 23, so my “spare time” is spent with them to the extent they have time for the parents. Otherwise, I like to hike and anything water-related (swimming, boating, etc) and as the “Voice of the Highlanders” – public address announcer for our local high school baseball and football teams.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Kent Lilly is one of the finest personal injury lawyers in the central part of the state, and is by far the best in Polk County. I have referred clients to him on many occasions, and would consider myself lucky if he agreed to represent me on any case I might bring.
