Personal Introduction

Hello there. I am happily working on my 3rd career. I started out in the Navy as a nuclear operator on the USS Ohio (SSBN-726) and the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70). I retired after 30 years as an air traffic controller in Miami and really developed a love of contracts representing the ATC workforce in negotiations as a union representative and arbitration advocate. Law school happened while I was vectoring airplanes full-time and operned my practice 2010. I am really enjoying what I do now and look forward to helping people find peace of mind. I focus on “happy law” and as a result happy clients.
