I grew up in Round Rock, Texas and graduated from Round Rock High School.  From there, I went to Trinity University and played football all 4 years, earning 1st Team All-American honors my senior year.  After my undergraduate degree, I went to the University of Houston Law Center to get my law degree.

I have been a criminal defense attorney for 14 years.  Before that, I was a prosecutor.  In addition to my legal work, I also teach self-defense classes.

My entire goal professionaly has always been to be the most prepared.  I have found that very few attorneys are willing to put forth the effort it takes to prepare for a trial.  I will always use that preparation difference to my advantage.  I've always said that by the time a trial starts, no one knows the facts of the case better than me.
