About 20 years ago, before I was practicing law, I was a Human Resources Executive for major health care and academic institutions.

Some of my strengths are my ability to calm clients and put them at ease. This facilitates information gathering and problem identification. I am very direct and keep focused on the issue at hand.

Personal interests:

Some of my personal interests are my kids, my grandkids, sailing and music.
