Practice Areas: Construction & Development
Registered Professional Engineer (Ohio). My experience in construction started in 2004 when I began working summers for a local construction company as a laborer and intern engineer. In 2008, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Ohio Northern University. After witnessing firsthand the myriad of legal issues that arise in construction, I went on to pursue my law degree from Ohio Northern University—which I earned in 2011. I have had the unique experience of managing $25-$50 Million heavy highway construction projects, as well as participating in catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death insurance defense cases. This experience allows me to approach construction-related cases from a much different perspective than most attorneys, and it makes me a great asset to any case.
