About Me
As a former Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy, I have been privileged to hone my leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills in demanding and dynamic situations, both at sea on a nuclear-powered attack submarine as well as in the deserts of Iraq. As an attorney, I advocate for my clients using these same skill sets, striving to achieve the best possible outcome through a deep understanding of the issues at hand, appreciation of the diverse perspectives of others, and vigorous advocacy.
A native North Carolinian, I live in Chapel Hill with my wife and pit-shepherd-boxer-chow mix.
