About

  • I grew up in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, the son of a nurse and a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Army
  • I decided to make my father proud by following in his footsteps and joining the military, and then to immediately disappoint him by enlisting in the Navy instead of the Army
  • I served on active duty for five years, where I spent time on both coasts of the continental United States and in Europe, before returning to Tennessee to take advantage of my G.I
  • Bill benefits at the University of Tennessee
  • The military instilled the principles of hard work and discipline in me, which guide my practice today
  • After college, where I once again decided to let my old man down by receiving my bachelor’s degree in French, I took the LSAT on a whim, and managed to do well enough to receive a full scholarship to the Duncan School of Law
  • In law school, I began interning with a firm practicing in an incredibly wide range of areas
  • I accepted an associate position with the firm after graduation, and was immediately thrust into practicing in courtrooms throughout eastern Tennessee
  • I leverage this broad range of experience, and the relationships I’ve formed as a result, to help my clients achieve the best results possible in their cases
  • In my spare time, I take advantage of one other ‘gift’ the military gave me – waking up insanely early to exercise – to pretend that I’m not getting old
  • These days, I’ve traded beach runs in combat boots for ironman triathlons
  • I have a wonderful support system, who do an excellent job of pretending like handing me bottles of water while I pedal a bicycle is an excellent way to spend every weekend
  • Everyone wants an attorney who will work hard and fight for them
  • That’s what I’ve spent my entire life doing
