Personal Note

One of the most challenging aspects of practicing in the workers’ compensation system is that it is constantly evolving. This keeps the practice fresh and exciting since you are always learning the changes in law and makes sure that you never grow bored.
I really enjoy electronics and computers. My real passion is putting together systems and networks. Building computers is a breeze so the real challenge lies in putting together the right components then tweaking and modifying the computers to work at their most effective levels.
