I come from a middle class background in Lake County, Fl where I went to Eustis High School.  I worked very hard as a young man as it was very important to my parents that I develop a good work ethic and to appreciate honest hard work.  In high school, I mowed lawns and worked at a bookstore to save money for college.  After high school, I was accepted to the University of Florida.

I did my undergraduate work and went to law school at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL.  I graduated summa cum laude, which is the highest honor you can recieve at graduation.

I then went to work immediately practicing law for Attorney Richard Troutman.  I specialize in personal injury cases including motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents, premises liability cases, products liability cases and medical malpractice cases.  I have focused my practice in these areas of law since I finished law school in 2003. 

I believe in not only working very hard for my clients but also being available to them and giving great personal service.  I try to anwser every one of my clients' telephone calls personally and if not call them back as soon as possible.  My clients speak to me about their cases, not a paralegal or a case manager.  I handle virtually every aspect of their case from start to finish.  I don't advertise on the television or radio and I don't believe in these forms of advertisement.  I rely on personal referrals from past clients and referrals from other attorneys as my sole means of new clients.
