I began my practice working as an assistant District Attorney in Middlesex County, Massachusetts writing appeals in murder and other felony cases.  I then moved back to Maine and interned at the York County District Attorney's office in Maine.  Following that, I went into private practice, focusing on criminal defense and personal injury.  I was a defense attorney in the longest crminal trial in Maine federal court history and was counsel in US v. FanFan, a recent US Supreme Court Case, which changed federal sentencing laws.

I have been president of the Porsche Club of Maine and race car instructor, and have also raced, and currently own several motorcycles.  I sail and race my sailboat, and have surfed in Hawaii and Central America.
