I was born and raised in Geauga County located in Northeast Ohio.  I attended undergraduate school at the University of Dayton from 1988 until 1991.  I graduated with a B.A. in Political Science.  From 1992-1995, I attended the University of Akron School of Law.

My legal practice began in Wadsworth, Ohio.  While in Ohio, I had a general practice that included estate planning, probate and guardianship.  I was a court appointed guardian for several of Medina County's indigent elderly citizens.  In 1999, I became licensed in the State of Florida.  I was able to assist Ohio snow-birds with their Florida legal issues. 

In 2004, my family moved to Cape Coral.  I continued my sole practice focusing on estate planning, probate administration, trust administration and guardianship.
