I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Attended St. Louis Priory high school in Creve Coeur, Missouri before moving onto college at St. Louis University. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree from St. Louis University in Finance in 1988.
After taking a year off to explore an occupation in the Finance field, I decided to listen to the advice from my grandfather and seek my lifelong passion of becoming a lawyer. I graduated St. Louis University School of Law in 1993. I immediately obtained a license to practice in both Missouri and Illinois. Due to my experience with criminal defense during my summers in law school, I decided to open my own criminal defense practice with a focus on DWI and Drug Offenses in 1994.
In 2007, I became a municipal prosecutor, which gave me a unique advantage in the courtroom when defending criminal cases. I was better able to see a criminal case from both sides. Additionally, I have regularly attended DWI seminars nationwide, giving me the latest strategies in DWI defense, and up-to- date knowledge of breath instrument technology
I've been happily married for 22 years and have two boys, ages 18 and 21. I was very involved with them growing up, teaching them the importance of family, faith and an education. I thoroughly enjoyed acting as their baseball coach for many of those years.
With 33 years of experience in DWI/DUI, I will safeguard your future. Servicing St. Louis, Clayton, and surrounding areas.
