I found an outlet for my competitive energy as a cross country runner. The stamina, dedication, and preparedness needed to excel at running resonated with me. My personal mantra has always been “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Today, I practice law the same way I trained and raced as a cross country runner – by meticulously formulating and executing my plan while remaining adaptable to the unexpected and embracing challenges. My competitive drive is reflected in my work, and I always strive for the best possible outcome for my clients.
