I grew up in the Washington Metropolitan Area and attended Gonzaga College High School in downtown Washington, D.C., then Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA and finally Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law where I earned my law degree in 2004.  As a first-year law student, I won 1st place in CUA’s Moot Court Competition and later interned in the Chairman’s Office of the Federal Communications Commission.  During my third year, I worked as a legal intern at one of Maryland's top health care informatics companies.

Immediately out of law school I started my legal career in real estate law and later became in-house counsel for a leading annuity buyout company located here in Maryland.  Soon thereafter, I discovered my passion for personal injury law.
