I am passionate about serving others. After careers in the military and federal government, I pursued a law degree while working as a senior consultant to the federal government. My daughter, Ashley, is a special needs person and has been a great influence in my life. As Ashley grew older, it became apparent that my wife and I would need to carefully plan for Ashley's future. Like many parents, we had no idea where to start and fumbled our way through the system. That experience played a large part in my decision to practice law and help families with their estate planning and other legal needs. We first moved to Prince William County in 1997 and are proud to call Dale City our home. I graduated magna cum laude from Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. In addition to the mandatory coursework, I focused my studies on Arbitration Law, Elder Law, Estates and Trusts, Family Mediation, and Bankruptcy Law.
