I am passionate about obtaining fair compensation for consumers who are seriously injured through medical malpractice, defective products, nursing home neglect and abuse, and automobile and trucking accidents. That passion is born of a belief in the intrinsic value of human life and the need to protect our fundamental human rights to life, liberty and security of person.
I am married with three kids. I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky where I have volunteered on numerous boards and charitable organizations and as a coach in youth sports.
