I am a native Nashvillian. Born in 1953, I have been married to the same lady for 42 years and have 2 adult children. I’m a graduate of Father Ryan High School and went on to attend the University of Tennessee and Trevecca College. I worked for 18 years with the Metro Nashville Police Department. In the early years on the department, I worked in patrol division and community relations division, where I established Metro Police Department’s first bicycle patrol unit. I spent 10 years in the vice squad where I worked drugs, prostitution, and gambling. I was also placed on special assignments to work homicides, robberies and home break-in rings.

I started and ran a successful private investigation company while I attended and graduated from the Nashville School of Law. I have been practicing law now for over 20 years. I enjoy golf, working out, hunting, fishing and traveling.
