I hail from Webb City, a quaint town near Joplin, Missouri. My academic journey took me to the University of Arkansas where I completed my undergraduate studies before advancing to the University of Arkansas School of Law. After earning my degree, I relocated to Tulsa and started my law career in September 2010.
Initially, I joined a private law firm where my focus was on workers' compensation insurance defense. During this period, I honed my trial abilities, conducted hundreds of depositions, and became a proficient negotiator through extensive participation in mediations. In 2012, I transitioned to a role as in-house counsel for a prominent nationwide insurance company, where I defended general liability and workers' compensation cases.
Currently, my practice is dedicated to assisting individuals who have been injured—through no fault of their own—in obtaining the compensation they rightfully deserve.
