I am a visionary with experience in business, law, and public policy. I am convinced that my purpose in this life is to help people reach their full potential, whether it be a client who is starting a business, or an Oconee County resident who will get the training they need to get a job that will positively change their and their family's future.To reach our full potential, I believe that it's imperative that we first find out (1) who we are, (2) what we're passionate about, and (3) what we're capable of. Then we must strive to accomplish the work laid out before us."It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." — Theodore Roosevelt, US President"I cannot help leaving my books behind me whenever God calls me hence; but in every other respect, my own hands will be my executors." — John Wesley, English evangelistBusiness Formation & AdvisementCivil LitigationConstruction LawContractsEntrepreneurial ExperienceGeneral LitigationGovernment PolicyInsurance LawLegal Research & WritingNegotiationNon-profit Formation & AdvisementPersonal InjuryProbateReal EstateSmall Business & Non-Profit DevelopmentWorkers Compensation**Note: Although I practice in the above areas, I am not certified as a specialist by the South Carolina Supreme Court.
