About Me

Originally a Missouri native, I moved to Alabama for college and have proudly made Huntsville my home. While in Law School, I served as the Associate Editor for the Cumberland Law Review. I am currently completing my LL.M. in Taxation at the University of Alabama School of Law, and upon graduation in May 2025, I will hold degrees from three major universities in Alabama.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time outdoors—especially hunting and fishing. My favorite pastime is turkey hunting, although I admit the turkeys often win. My wife and I live in Huntsville and love exploring all that North Alabama has to offer.

About Me

A native Alabamian, I have lived in several states and abroad—including California, Illinois, and Japan—which has given me a broad perspective and deep appreciation for diverse experiences. Outside of my legal work, I am passionate about animal rescue and regularly partner with my mom to care for and rehome stray and abandoned dogs and cats. I also love experimenting in the kitchen and enjoys trying new recipes recommended by family and friends.
