Personal Note

What I love most about being a lawyer is that I am never bored, and I can count on being challenged by my work every day. I take great personal satisfaction in resolving complex legal problems in the fairest way possible, in accordance with the applicable law.
One of my passions is practicing my acoustic guitar, a Martin. I am self-taught and probably do not play very well by most people’s standards. Regardless of my skill level, I take great joy in trying to master new songs and improving my sound. Another passion of mine grew from my upbringing. When I was young, my family used to take canoeing trips together along the Savannah River. By the age of fourteen (14) I was a skilled oarsman, able to successfully navigate rapids while steering from the back of the boat. Today, I love to swim in the Russian River, and I will always love to paddle anything.
