I am a fighter. My freshman year at the University of Georgia, I walked on to the UGA Football program, earning a spot as a fullback through the spring of 2012. My senior year, I competed in the Brawl for a Cause charity boxing event, where I went three rounds with a veteran opponent. As an attorney with Hendrick & Henry Law, I'm taking the fight to the courtroom; applying that same tenacity I displayed on the field and in the ring to advocate zealously for clients charged with criminal offenses.

My favorite book is "Just Mercy" by attorney and author, Bryan Stevenson. In it he says, "each of us is more than the worst thing we've ever done." I believe those words to my core. I want my legacy to be rooted in the pursuit of the best in humanity. I want to see a justice system elevated above retribution and vengeance and for human decency to be displayed to all people, no matter what they are accused of.
