Biography

I am a fourth generation Texan. I have always lived in Texas with the exception of 7 of my military years and law school. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and a Master's in Management from Liberty University. I earned my Juris Doctor degree, cum laude, from the University of New Hampshire School of Law.

I am a veteran of the United States Navy, where I served on active duty from 1997 to 2007. During my time in the Navy, I undertook various roles, including field training officer and watch commander for a military police unit at Naval Station Ingleside, Texas. The experiences and knowledge I gained there have been invaluable in representing my clients effectively.

When I'm not practicing law, I enjoy biking, swimming, and spending quality time with my family. I currently live in the Austin area with my wife and three children.
