Attorney University of Oklahoma Law School, Oklahoma State Bar

As a personal injury lawyer, I enjoy helping people. It’s easily the most satisfying part of my job and it’s what drives me to come in to work every day. Those whom I help are real people with real problems.

In personal injury, it’s important to remember that clients are more than just clients. I always make sure that I do. Through my cases, I am able to truly help the people who need it.

When I’m not in the office, I spend time with my wife, who I love very much, and volunteer at my church. I also work extensively with the Boy Scouts of America because I truly believe in the importance of instilling great values in our nation’s young men.
