Professional Experience: |
As an attorney, I have practiced just about every facet of law, except tax. My experience includes criminal defense (DUIs to Murder), personal injury defense, corporate (formation, asset protection, purchase and sale), landlord/tenant, real estate, child advocacy, family law, legislative bill review, government permitting and licensure advocacy, and in general, risk management.
I have also worked as an oil field roughneck, ranch hand, lumberjack, and Captain of vessels up to 100 gross tons with a sailing endorsement. I can work on gas and diesel engines, weld, and fiberglass.
My intention is to join an international humanitarian team, and to that end, I'm currently studying French.
