I have lived, worked, and gone to school all over North Texas. My family is working class. They’ve done everything from bartending and banking to woodworking and accounting. I am the first lawyer in my family. Though I have washed dishes, waited tables, parked cars, and worked in retail, the job I love best is representing the injured and disabled. I started at Kraft & Associates in the Social Security disability department in 1997.

My wife and I met in high school and we have been married for 20 years. We love spending time with friends, family, and vacationing. Every year we visit someplace new and send pictures to folks back home. I am a lifelong struggling guitar player and golfer.

I was humbled to have my work included in the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) research collection. The museum is the United States’ official memorial to the Holocaust in Washington, D.C. and is dedicated to confronting hatred, preventing genocide, promoting human dignity, and strengthening democracy.
