I am a third generation attorney and co-founder of BridgeBuilder. I have always been aware of the personal sacrifices and hard work that my parents and grandparents made for my benefit. Shortly before my grandfather’s death in 2008, I was introduced to a poem called “The Bridge Builder” by Will Allen Dromgoole. The words resonated and left a lasting impression on me. I knew the meaning of the poem reflected the bridges that my father and grandfather had built for me. I was convinced that the “The Bridge Builder” could be the inspiration for the creation of an estate planning practice that would guide families from generation to generation, helping each to build a bridge to the next.I am admitted to practice in Missouri, Kansas and the US Tax Court, have primarily focused on counseling clients with diverse estate planning needs by preparing all levels of planning.
