Kirton is an alum of Clemson University and the University of Tennessee College of Law. He is also a proud veteran, having served as an active-duty Combat Camera Officer, and later as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer in the Air Force Reserve. He earned both Army and Air Force Commendation Medals during his tenure. After an honorable discharge, his desire to continue serving his community pulled him into the study of law. As a student, he was an active member of the law school’s Wills Clinic, Street Law program, and local community service groups. He established Madison Law, PLLC shortly after graduation. He founded the firm on the same principles that guided him throughout his military career: Integrity First, Service before Self, and Excellence in Everything we Do.

In his spare time, Kirton enjoys exercising, art shows, and spending time with family and friends.
