When asked…
Why did you become a lawyer?
I became an attorney because I saw leaders in the community who were doing good work, helping people, and making their community a better place, and many of them were attorneys. I am passionate about helping clients in a difficult spot find a path to a good outcome.
What do you do outside of work?
For the past 25 years, I have been an active supporter and leader of youth sports. All three of my children fell into random sports, and they helped shape them as young adults in ways that were unimaginable at the outset. I believe children thrive when they are passionate about something and are put in positions to overcome challenges, learn from their failures, and appreciate their successes and how they achieved success.
