A native of Oklahoma, I was born and raised in Harrah, about 25 miles east of Oklahoma City. A graduate of the University of Oklahoma, I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree in Finance as a member of the University’s Price College of Business Presidential Leadership Class. Following my undergraduate degree, I attended the Oklahoma City University School of Law, where I was an active member of the Phi Alpha Delta professional law fraternity, voted by my peers as Member of the Year 2006-2007. I earned my Juris Doctorate (JD) at the Oklahoma City University School of Law, a law school fully accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) Council of the Section on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, and a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).

I began my legal career as a civil defense lawyer representing insurance companies and private citizens in personal injury cases including automobile accidents, oilfield accidents and products liability. As an attorney in the insurance defense industry, I successfully handled multi-million dollar litigation and obtained favorable outcomes for my clients.

In addition to handling defense in civil cases, I am also an experienced criminal defense attorney. In 2009, I began working as a sole practitioner representing clients in criminal cases in state and federal courts across Oklahoma. Through innovative and assertive defense strategies, I have provided effective representation and obtained successful results for criminal defendants in state and federal cases ranging from DUI and traffic crimes to felony sex offenses.

I am a member of the Oklahoma Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, the Oklahoma County Bar Association, the Pontotoc County Bar Association, and the Bar of the Chickasaw Nation. I am admitted to practice in all Oklahoma State Courts as well as the United States District Courts for the Northern, Eastern, and Western Districts of Oklahoma.
