I am a father of 2 boys. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family. I also enjoy spending time outdoors. I am a private pilot. I also enjoy college football, golf, and boating. The thing I enjoy most about practicing law is helping people. I enjoy guiding clients through the maze of civil litigation.
