A native of Indiana, I could only call Indiana home. I was raised by my grandparents in Plymouth, Indiana. As a basketball and baseball player in highschool, I earned a scholarship on to college. After an injury, I had to work to make it through school. I graduated earning top honors through college and law school. Upon graduation, I started working for the State of Indiana as a prosecutor and since have been through more than 100 jury trials fighting from both sides of the aisle.
