I was born in St. Louis back when their Cardinals played both baseball and football.  My family soon after moved to Paducah, Kentucky.  My father owned a grocery store in Crittenden County and I began putting in my time at the store starting in the third grade.  That small business supported our family, sent my siblings and I to college and provided a comfortable retirement for my mom and dad.  It was an integral institution in that region.

My dad insisted I would not follow him into the grocery business, so I went to college and graduated from Western Kentucky University in 1995.  Shortly after graduating, I became a Kentucky State Trooper, primarily in Pendleton and Bracken Counties, then as the Public Affairs Officer for Northern Kentucky and eventually in Frankfort worked in the KSP Legal Office in Frankfort.  I attended Chase College of Law in the evenings, while chasing bad guys during the day and late (very late) nights and graduated in 2001. 

After gaining a few years’ experience in private practice with firms in the area, I established my own firm, in 2005.  My wife and I have two teenagers and live in Boone County.  I’m honored to have helped countless neighbors throughout Northern Kentucky.  I’ve met them during their joy of having a child, and amidst their grief when losing a loved one.  I’ve helped them start their businesses and have congratulated them at retirement after selling their company.  Whether you need an attorney for exciting occasions or during unpleasant circumstances, I want to share my years of experience with you and provide you with service that is fair, compassionate and valuable.
