I also represent business owners and other individuals in planning thier estates, protecting their assets and realizing their personal goals. I am also a frequent speaker and writer on startups, early-stage finance and venture capital, social enterprises and personal planning.

I have been involved in business and entrepreneurship from an early age.  My first business was on the campus of the University of Notre Dame as a freshman and I have been involved in various businesses ever since.  For me, the practice of business and commercial law is simply the flip side of entrepreneurship, where I have the opportunity to assist my clients in both the legal and business needs.  It is as much a passion as it is a profession, which I hope to share daily.
