BIO

I practiced law from 1981 to 2003 in the areas of estate planning, probate, family law, real estate and small business. From 2003 to 2011 I worked as a financial planner with Skylight Financial Group where I was able to increase my knowledge of retirement plans, life insurance, investments and annuities all of which are a part of estate planning.

 

In 2011 I took time off to walk the Camino de Santiago across northern Spain and from 2012 until 2014 I taught English in the Philippines with the Peace Corps.

 

When I came back home at the end of 2014, I decided to restart my law practice but focus on estate planning and probate.
