Born and raised in New York state, after high school, I joined the United States Army in 1985. So I am old, but not too old. After serving in California and the Republic of Korea (South Korea), I left the Army and moved to Maryland to attend college at the University of Maryland. Go Terps! I have lived in Maryland since 1989, raised two children here, and have been a lawyer since 1995. While I have not seen it all, I have seen my share.
