I have served on the board of directors for the Wichita Symphony Society for over 25 years.  I am also an active Rotarian, having served as club president of one of the largest and oldest clubs in the world.

I have been practicing law since 2003 and have tried more than 40 jury trials and numerous non-jury trials throughout my career.  Currently, 100% of my practice is dedicated to seeking justice for those injured by the negligence of others.. Background:  After graduating from Heidelberg University where I was a four-year member of the wrestling team, I attended the University of Miami School of Law.  After graduating from law school, I began my legal career as a prosecutor in Florida, where I tried case after case before Florida juries.  This prosecutorial experience honed my skills as a litigator and kindled within me a true passion for the courtroom.. Driven by service, I joined the Unites States Army Reserve in 2004 as a member of the Army JAG Corps and I continue to serve as an Army reservist today.  My military service has included nearly eight years of active duty military law practice, including a deployment to Iraq in 2010, where my primary missions were to partner with Iraq Army lawyers as part of the U.S. effort to help develop and grow the Iraq judicial system, as well as to investigate and pay claims made by Iraq nationals for alleged damages caused by coalition troops. From helping to deliver computers, printers, and copiers to a civilian courthouse in downtown Baghdad, to traveling to numerous Iraqi Army bases for meetings, to making cash payments to locals whose claims for damages had been verified, my overseas experiences helped to solidify an appreciation for our U.S. system of justice.  I currently hold the military rank of Major and I'm a graduate of the U.S. Army’s Airborne and Air Assault schools, among others.. From 2007 – 2012, and in between military mobilizations, I practiced law at John Madden, P.A. in Stuart, FL, where I was able to earn a number of excellent results for our civil litigation, criminal defense, and family law clients.  My Army service eventually led to a consecutive six-year active duty period of service from 2012 – 2018, during which I served at Fort Knox, KY; Charlottesville, VA, where I earned a Master of Law degree in military law; and, finally, at the 451st Expeditionary Sustainment Command here in Wichita, KS, where my family and I chose to remain after leaving active duty.. I am licensed to practice law in Kansas state and federal courts, as well as in Florida and Texas, and I am a member of the Wichita Bar Association and the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.. It is my commitment to work tirelessly on behalf of my clients.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids, staying in shape, and training in martial arts.

I have been an attorney for 30 years, focusing solely on family law since 1995.  My aspiration is to fulfill Micah 6:8:  to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly.

I am a partner with the law firm of Foulston Siefkin LLP.  I received mys B.S. degree from Wichita State University in 1982 and J.D. from the University of Kansas School of Law in 1985 where I was Order of the Coif and an editor for the Kansas Law Review. my practice emphasizes business and commercial litigation.  I have represented clients in a wide variety of contract disputes, creditors’ rights/bankruptcy, UCC litigation, products liability, construction disputes, accounting malpractice, oil and gas measurement, property tax valuations, and cattle and feedlot related disputes. I also serve as General Counsel for Foulston Siefkin and Chair of the firm’s internal ethics committee.  I have also been a member of the Wichita Bar Association Ethics and Grievance Committee since 1996 and has chaired that committee since July 2008.

I am a native of Wichita and graduated from Wichita High School East.  I attended Emporia State University and obtained my undergraduate degree in history.  After ESU, I returned home to Wichita, worked at Old Cowtown Museum as a blacksmith, was the District Circulation Manager for the Wichita Eagle and later wrote business development online education programs. I then decided to pursue law and attended Washburn University School of Law. Following law school, I worked for the Kansas Court of Appeals before returning home to Wichita in early 2008 to join Hinkle Law Firm. My practice focuses primarily on estate planning. I enjoy estate planning because it gives me the opportunity to help people solve problems and draft documents to carry out their final wishes.  My clients trust me to help them with the largest financial transaction of their lives.  My experience helps me to find solutions to my client’s problems, and practicing with the Estate Planning Group at Hinkle gives me the opportunity to leverage the experience of my partners, paralegals, and staff to find the best solutions to solve a client’s particular challenge in protecting their hard-earned assets and building their legacy.. Part of my responsibilities include educating the public on the need for estate planning, encouraging them to ‘Choose to Plan’, and helping to explain the estate planning process. I regularly present estate planning seminars to the Wichita Women’s Investment Education programs, church groups, and at other community programs.  I also serve an educational role for the firm, as the Director of Hinkle’s Associate Recruitment and Associate Development programs.. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children, brewing my own beer, and volunteering at St. Francis of Assisi Parish as a member of the Parish’s Finance Council and as Chair of the Extraordinary Stewardship (Planned Giving) Committee.
