Summary I like people and enjoy working with them. I use the skills I honed as a trial attorney -- listening to and communicating with those I serve, developing insight into their issues and needs, and working with them to find the best solution -- to help those who depend on my work so that they can accomplish theirs.

I use the business sense that I developed in self-employment to choose efficient solutions for the needs of my employer.
