I grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota, and I received my bachelor’s degree from Weber State University in Ogden, Utah.  I went on to earn a master’s degree from Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois.  For many years I worked as a tooling or manufacturing engineer designing a wide variety of metal cutting tools for domestic and international automotive suppliers.  I even patented two designs for a fixtures which continue to be used in precision machining.

While still working as a tooling designer for a local company, I received a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Nashville School of Law, graduating in the top ten percent of his class.  Soon after, I opened a solo practice in Nashville, Tennessee helping people deal with a variety of problems such as divorce, child custody and visitation, personal injury, issues concerning adults and children with disabilities, as well as general civil litigation.

I admitted to practice in both Tennessee and Federal Courts, and I practice primarily in Davidson and surrounding counties.  I have experience representing clients in all phases of litigation including motion practice, mediation, and jury and bench trials.  Recently I have associated with Marie Stacey and Jim Watson to form a team to better serve my clients with a wider variety of legal issues
