When I'm not working on my clients' needs, you'll most likely find me on a bike or in a kayak.  I'm a big believer in extreme achievements and in doing things that others find intimidating or impossible, like expedition adventure races and steep whitewater descents.  I live by two simple mottos: always move forward, and conquer fear.  Those key lessons got me through law school as well as my service in the US Navy and countless adventures and obstacles small and large.. In law school, I studied as diverse a range of topics as I could get my hands on.  Today, I apply all of that knowledge and my nine years of experience in Social Security to giving my clients the individual service and attention they deserve and working toward getting each client the best possible outcome.
