I am married and have three sons.  When I am not practicing law, teaching or taking care of my family, I love to go camping or skiing.. I started my own practice in 1995 in order to be able to represent the people and cases that I choose.  I am guided in my practice by being forthright and honest, hardworking, responsive and dedicated to being a formidable advocate for my client's interests.  I love practicing law because the work  is different every day, and I get to make a difference in people's lives.
