I grew up in Potomac, Maryland, where I attended Churchill H.S. and played both football and basketball. I attended the University of Vermont where I graduated with an English degree with minor studies in Philosophy and Religion.

After college, I lived abroad; in Taiwan, I started and ran a magazine that served as an educational and entertainment guide to the island. Then I lived in Thailand where I ran Survival Trekking in Chiang Mai, taking intrepid tourists on multi-day "survival treks" through the mountains and jungles of Northern Thailand.

Upon my return, I entered the real estate business and have been involved in title insurance and settlement services throughout Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. for over 10 years now.

I graduated from the George Mason School of Law. I focused my studies on Real Estate, Bankruptcy and Wills, Trusts & Estates law. I am now licensed to practice in Virginia, Maryland, and D.C. My practice covers most areas of civil law and litigation.

I am also the owner of DB Title, LLC, a residential and commercial title insurance and settlement company.
