I had the great opportunity to be raised in a U.S. Navy family then attend the University of Florida (B.S. in Geology, 1980) and University of Wyoming (M.S. in Geology/Geophysics, 1983). After working in the environmental consulting industry, I earned my law degree from the University of Pittsburgh (1993) and worked as a project manager for several environmental remediation companies. In 1997, my family and I moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Greensboro, North Carolina and I later became the in-house counsel for another environmental remediation company. In 2002, another talented attorney and I started a law firm that thrived for ten years. Between 2012 and 2022, I owned and operated two law firms that provided high quality representation and counsel to businesses and individuals.In 2022, my fortune improved even more as I am able to represent and counsel several businesses as fractional outside General Counsel. I also volunteer as a Guardian ad Litem for neglected and abused children and as a swim instructor at the local YMCA as well as try to keep up with my age group in triathlons.
