Law Firm Overview

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, I headed North to explore the wilds of Fairbanks Alaska. There I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Biology. Having survived the cold dark winters I ventured back to the South to pursue my Master's degree in Fisheries Biology. Finished with my advanced degree, I still had a yearning for education. Although I have a great love for wildlife, I decided that I wanted to focus my efforts on helping people. The next step was attending Law School at the University of Wyoming. Armed with a solid education, my wife and I made the move to Durango where I have worked as an associate at two different esteemed firms before venturing out on my own. We are pleased to call this lovely town our home and we are determined to give back to the community.
