As the son of an Air Force officer, I had the fortune of "growing up" in many different places, which exposed me to a diverse array of people and cultures.  These experiences helped to shape the person and attorney I am today: curious, engaging, and versatile.  When it comes to the practice of law, I strive to assist my clients with all of their legal needs in a direct and cost-effective manner.  If I do not possess the requisite experience in the area of law at hand, chances are I know and can steer my clients to an attorney who does.  When not working with clients, I enjoy traveling, hiking with my two Catahoulas, Belle and Tallulah, and spending time with my family and adorable nephew in Tampa, Florida.
