How long have you been practicing law and what are your practice areas? I have been practicing law 30 years this coming April. (Where does the time go?) My practice areas are primarily Workers Compensation, some personal injury and general practice.

What do you like most about being a lawyer? Helping my clients achieve the desired result of course! I also like the fact the law exposes you to so many different subjects that I must learn.

What has been your biggest professional achievement?

I’m still waiting…

What is your passion outside of work and the law?

My family and checking out great restaurants.

What is the best advice you have ever received? “Just do YOU”

How long have you been a TCBA member? Off and on for about 12-15 years.

Has your career benefited from being a member of the TCBA? If so, please share. Hopefully I can be an asset to the TCBA.

What is your favorite book, movie, or television show?

That question is always a moving target… but right now I really enjoy the Tulsa King!

Tell us a fun fact that no one knows about you! I was one of the flag corps captains back in the 80's. It was so long ago, I’m sure that those who did know have forgotten!

What is your favorite food? Pizza!!
