I have practiced law since 1979.  I spent two years practicing law in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Then I returned to Arkasnas and spent two years as a corporate attorney at Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (when Wal-Mart only had three attorneys in its Legal Department).  Then in 1983, I joined my current law firm.

I enjoy taking road trips across Arkansas and stopping in local restaurants to savor the local cooking and ambiance
