I am a long time resident of the Augusta/North Augusta area, having lived here since 1970.  I have practiced law exclusively in this area since graduation from law school in 1984. 

Personally, I am a single father and have three children -- one in college, one in high school and one in elementary school.  I am involved in their lives, as I have coached both of my sons in youth baseball leagues for 14 years in North Augusta, and my daughter in volleyball during the two years she played.  I am a Christian and active in my church, having served as a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, and on various groups and committees.

I am active in the community.  I presently serve on the Board of Directors of the North Augusta Chamber of Commerce, and am a member of Augusta (Ga.) Chamber of Commerce. I also curently serve on the Board of Directors of the University of Georgia Alumni Association (Augusta Chapter).  I have previously served as Chairman of a United Way sponsored agency. Also, I was selected for and completed the "Leadership Augusta" program. 

I am an avid runner, having run a marathon, a few half marathons, and many 10K and 5K races.  I do my best to try and stay fit, and also cycle and workout regularly. 

I enjoy traveling, attending sporting events, and generally being active in my "spare time".  But, I also like spending time with friends and family grilling out, watching a movie, or just enjoying each other's company.
