My Approach

There’s a saying in the wrestling world: “once you have wrestled, everything else in life is easy.” I wouldn’t say that being a lawyer is easy, or that I take clients’ concerns lightly, but I will say that as a former Division 1 wrestler, and having worked alongside All-Americans, National Champions and Olympians (including a gold medalist), I know firsthand the dedication and determination necessary to achieve remarkable goals. As a lawyer, I apply that same level of dedication and determination to achieving outcomes for clients.

My favorite aspect of working with banks and businesses is that, at the end of the day, there’s something real to show for it – whether it’s a bank merging, opening a branch in a new area or offering new services, our work has a large and lasting impact on the community.

Outside of work, I enjoy weightlifting, running, trying new restaurants, and taking walks with my wife and our dog Mabel, an English Mastiff.
