What I love about being a tax and estate planning attorney is the chance to work with clients and see the smile on their faces as they learn from me how to control their taxes and legal costs. I show them how to hold onto their money to better care for themselves and their families. My grasp of numbers is enhanced by unusal aptitudes in art -- I am an award winning wood sculptor -- and music -- I am an intermediate piano student. As a result, I bring creativity to otherwise droll subjects and frequently surprise folks with outside the box  thinking.

I am also a great believer in physical fitness. Sharp thinking requires a fit body. I love to bicycle to work and cross country. Seldom does a  day go by that I don't work out in some way.
