I am an attorney with a broad range of legal experience.  Since beginning my legal career in 2002 I have worked as a criminal prosecutor, a commercial litigator, a deputy general counsel, and now a private practicioner with my own firm. 

In addition to my civilian career, I am also a Major in the United States Army Reserve where I currently serve as a Judge Advocate.  I began my military service in R.O.T.C. at John Carroll University.  I was commissioned a Second Lieutenant upon graduation from college in 1996 and served on active duty.  In 1999, I left active duty to attend law school and joined the Illinois Army National Guard.  In 2000, I joined the Army Reserve.

In 2003, I was recalled to active duty and mobilized to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

I reside in the suburbs of Chicago and when I am not working I enjoy spending time with family and friends, working out, running, biking, tennis, and fishing.
