When asked…
Why did you become a lawyer?
With a strong foundation in rhetoric and debate, I transitioned into law from an academic background. My passion lies in dissecting complex legal concepts, simplifying them, and effectively communicating these ideas to clients and courts. This approach ensures a clear understanding of the issues, facilitating informed decision-making and striving for the most favorable client outcomes.
What do you do outside of work?
In my personal time, I cherish moments with my wife and our son. I have a deep-seated passion for reading and storytelling, with a particular interest in history. My decade-long experience working in bookstores during my youth solidified my love for literature, no matter the genre. Our family shares a mutual affection for books, which continues to enrich our lives.
