PROFILE

After graduating from law school in 2004 and becoming a Florida Board Certified Attorney in

September of that same year I took a job as an attorney at a local firm with a focus in commercial and

residential real estate law, landlord/tenant law, and banking and lending law. During my time at this firm,

I gained extensive knowledge and learned invaluable skills which I have listed below. In late 2007, I felt it

was time to move on in order to build up more of my own clientele and concentrate more on the banking

side of the law. Besides having a strong work ethic and excellent communication skills, I was

born and raised in Sarasota and have many connections that I feel will be a huge benefit to my

practice.
