After graduating from Oak Park High School here in Kansas City, I attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City earning a Bachelor of Arts in History and later a Juris Doctor. While in Law School, I focused on honing my trial skills through trial advocacy classes and as a member of the trial team for three years. During that time, I put those skills to test as an intern at the Jackson County Prosecutor's Office and as an intern for the Missouri Attorney General Civil Litigation Division. I gained first-hand experience prosecuting murder cases and defending civil claims for personal injury, breach of contract, and wrongful death.

After graduating, I began to focus on civil litigation to help be a voice for anyone injured by another person or entity. Today, my practice focuses on helping those involved in a motor vehicle collision or injuried on someone else's property. 

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my wife (Katie), daughter (Emersyn), and pointer pups (Nash, Remi). My passion for advocacy in law is rivaled by my love of the outdoors, either playing softball, fishing, or hunting. My competitive nature and perseverance are attributes I’ve developed through my active lifestyle but have found they assist me each day in and out of the courtroom.
