I grew up in the Southtowns of Buffalo before attending high school in the city. In the summer before starting college at SUNY Geneseo, I immediately started my working career in the construction business. I held the position of project monitor and inspector for four years while earning my degree in Geneseo. That job took me across Western New York and into countless demolition and renovation sites.. My experience as a blue-collar worker taught me the value of hard-work. Those four years were a major factor in leading me to fight for the rights of injured workers. I began the fight by attending Law School at the University at Buffalo. The worker in me could not just sit idly by. Throughout law school, I worked three jobs: coaching soccer at Canisius High School, working as a law clerk in asbestos litigation, and putting in hours at my previous, construction job.. Finally, I graduated law school and was admitted to practice law in the State of New York. In 2016, I was thrilled to accept a position with Nicholas, Perot, Smith, Bernhardt & Zosh. While I am no longer considered a blue-collar worker, I am pleased to apply those values to enthusiastically representing workers across Western New York in Workers’ Compensation and Personal Injury.
