I was raised to value learning and my father instilled in me, a love of humanities. This passion continued throughout college where I studied political science, history, and russian language. I still desire to learn more and make more connections, which helps me grow as a lawyer and as a person.
I have an amazing wife and two young boys that keep me busy. We love sports and although baseball is the current craze, we are also mad about football. The Bears and Buckeyes are our favorite teams (Although, I will work just as hard for you if you’re a Packers or Wolverines fan)! Although I haven’t had too much time for it lately, I enjoy running and participated in the Chicago and Boston Marathons after law school. I also love to travel and can’t wait to take my family on adventures to places we have never been before.
