I was born and raised in the Midwest and still have a strong sense of loyalty to that area of the country.  I possess strong family values and place a lot of stock in forging long-lasting, personal relationships with my family, with friends, and with my past and current clients.  These things are important to me, which is why I gravitated toward this line of work in the first place, and which is why I have experienced success in what I do.  My passion is for helping families through a very difficult time and I know how important it is for everyone involved (especially the children) to get through the process as quickly, gracefully and respectfully as possible.  I never shy away from a challenge so I have focused my practice on representing individuals involved in high-conflict, high-asset family law situations.  I am extremely aggressive if I need to be, but at the same time, I understand that a swift and amicable resolution is often what is best for my clients.. When I am not working, I enjoy coaching, travelling, playing softball, and spending time with my beautiful and supportive wife Alex and my sons Dylan and Landon.  I also love watching college footbal.  O-H-.....
