Family Man
In addition to my passion for the law, I am a dedicated family man to my wife Jessica and our extended family living in Gainesville and Tarpon Springs, Florida.
I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, jogging, walking, and watching all things Star Wars or Marvel related. I love watching the Gators play – football, basketball, and baseball. I love professional basketball and try to go to Orlando Magic games every year. I have a goal to make it to every NBA arena. So far, I have been to Dallas, Milwaukee, Boston, Orlando, and Miami NBA arenas.
I grew up in Tarpon Springs, Florida. My high school mascot was the Fighting Spongers. Notably, we were proudly the only high school in the world with that mascot.
I love teaching trial skills. I have taught at the high school level, undergrad, and at the law school.
I love the beach and water, but a healthy fear of sharks and gators keeps me safely out of the water.
I love good food. I can eat ridiculously hot things and even did the Paqui Hot Chip Challenge this year. I will never do that again.
There is an ongoing debate in my household because my children cannot stand pizza, and I love pizza on the weekends.
Even the smallest fender bender can result in damages and injuries. Never wait to get justice. Learn about your rights in Florida.
Have you been accused of a crime? Do you need legal representation that puts you first?
