I grew up in Richland on a farm. I believe that growing up where I did, helped shaped me. It taught me how to work and to not take things for granted. After finishing law school, I moved back to Springfield and have lived here since. Outside of practicing law, my hobbies include but aren't limited to Mizzou Sports, the lake, and running around after my daughter.
