OUR MOTIVATION
For as long as I can remember, it's been important to me to defend and protect the people who matter in our lives. It's the reason I enlisted as an Army Ranger. The reason I served a tour in Iraq. And the reason I turned to law after earning a Masters in Environmental Engineering.

Whether you are purchasing a home, starting a business, planning your estate for future generations or defending yourself in civil or environmental litigation, I promise to help you protect what matters most to you.
