I am blessed to be able to help persons with injuries and disabilities navigate the complicated and often confusing areas of Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability to effect a real and positive change in their circumstances.

For fun and recreation, I love to sail and singing barbershop, 4 part a capella songs.
