I have lived in Appleton, Wisconsin my entire life other than attending college in Madison and law school in Chicago. I started my own law practice within the first year of graduating from law school, and continue to work with my same partners at our law firm Hammett, Bellin & Oswald, LLC. I am proud of the quality of individuals representing our law firm and am happy that we have helped so many people over the years.
I am an active member of our community and serve in many different ways. I have been active on various Boards including as Treasurer of the Boys & Girls Club, President of Rebuilding Together-Fox Valley, and member of Emerging Leaders of the United Way. I am also active in our local parish and enjoy coaching youth basketball.
My wife, Chris, and I presently reside in Appleton with our three children.
