Passionate, dedicated, positive, kindhearted, and funny.

What is one of the most positive experiences you’ve had as a lawyer?

What do you consider your greatest achievement?

I’ve had achievements throughout life. Plaques and trophies are nice. But greatest of all is successfully creating our blended family of six and raising f
