Life Experience
Before completing my education, I worked in factories, offices, construction, and drove 18-wheelers all across the nation. After college I worked three jobs to help save up money for law school. My broad life experience helps me identify with the problems of ordinary people. I also believe it is important to live a balanced life. That’s why I have maintained a broad range of outside interests over the years.
