About Me

My first job out of undergrad was working tier 1 tech support for a North Carolina-based software company. Being on the received end of endless phone calls and support tickets quickly honed my ability to identify and solve customer problems. As my pre-law-school career grew, I relied on these skills as I came to manage strategic relationships with the largest businesses in the world. Now, as an attorney at Brooks Pierce, I frequently draw on my experience solving complex technical and commercial problems for fast-moving tech companies to now solve—and avoid—legal challenges for our clients.

When I’m not practicing law, I can be found running, biking, climbing, woodworking, or reading a book that likely involves maritime history. I call Raleigh my home with my wife and our dog, a rescue corgi.
