I've been blessed to find a career where I can indulge my passion...this time, a passion for the law. I love what I do and I look forward to coming to work each day. I started down this path by attending Baylor Law School in 1999, and I haven't looked back since.. I've lived in Waco now for 19 years, and I call it my home. My family lives back in Indiana, but my "kids" (my dogs) live here with me. I love the people and the atmosphere here in Waco. And I love the opportunities I have, on a daily basis, to help people make their life just a little bit better.. Although I took the roundabout way to my law career, the other positions I've held in my life have been one more step in preparing me to be the best lawyer I can be, both for myself and my clients. I look forward to meeting new clients and doing what I can to help make their day just a little brighter, their lives just a little calmer.

I represent citizens who have been accused of violating the criminal laws of Texas.  I have lived in the Waco/Central Texas area since 1991.  Prior to becoming an attorney, I did several things:  radio announcer, commercial roofing, registered nurse.  As much as I love all of the career paths I have followed, nothing excites me more than practicing criminal law.  I have been blessed with a great business partner, and talented attorneys and staff.  We look forward to helping you with any legal issues you may have.. I have been married for 19 years (all of the time to the same woman :) ) and we have one son.
