Before beginning a career in law, I worked in the photography industry in both sales of supplies, cameras, etc. but also as a Studio Grip and lab tech.  I started the Photojournalism program at the University of Missouri but before completing my degree opened a camera store in Columbia Missouri.  My wife (of 34 years) Kerry was accepted into the OCU Law School in 1989 so we moved to Oklahoma City.

I worked for 3 years with Glamour Shots / Candid Color Systems and attended Law School myself between 1992 and 1995.

Kerry and I practiced together from July 1997, until she died on April 22, 2018.  Jon Gores joined the firm in 2013 and has been assisting with and/or handling most Family Law, Adoption, Personal Injury and Employment discrimination cases since since February 2013 when he joined the firm.
