Personal Note

Since working in the workers’ compensation area of law, I have enjoyed the aspect of cultivating good relationships with my clients. I love the investigation process of claims and love studying the American Medical Association Guides for medical report analysis.
I am happily married with a teenage son and 3 adult step children. My family and I love the outdoors and enjoy camping, fishing, skiing and kayaking. In addition, I am an avid yoga practitioner. Prior to becoming an attorney, I was a special education teacher and would have also liked doing family counseling.
