About Me
About Me
I've been in Douglas County since I was 13 years old. My mother was a 20+ year army veteran who found Villa Rica to be the perfect retirement place. My father was just finishing law school when I got my first taste of life in Douglas. I knew practicing law and doing so with my father was the life I wanted. And, I knew I wanted that life to be right here where I grew up: Douglas County.
I've worked in private practice for about a decade. I am licensed to practice in all courts in Georgia including the federal court and the Supreme Court. I intentionally limited my caseload to provide individualized attention to each client. It's important for me to know who my clients are and not just what is their legal problem. I provided exceptional legal representation in all types of cases with a strong focus on criminal cases. I've represented clients charged with anything from shoplifting to attempted murder. I take seriously the trust all those who chose me to handle their legal issues. And, I take seriously the trust required to be your next Superior Court Judge.
As the son and brother of army veterans, I know what it feels like to move around. It was important to me to grow up here, work here, and invest here. I graduated from Douglas County High School, so I'm a proud tiger. My office is just off Hospital Drive and has been since it was opened. And, I've given back in a few ways, like coaching high school mock trial at Alexander and Douglas County, been past president of the Douglas County Bar, a current board member of the Good Samaritan Center, and even been a mentor through the District Attorney's Office, the Douglas County School System, and the Juvenile Courts.
I have both parents still living in Villa Rica and three older sisters. Now, I live in Lithia Springs. I attend Crossroads Church where I am a youth leader. And, you can find me working out at OneLife Fitness on Chapel Hill Road six days per week.
I'm running to be your next judge for three reasons. I want to 1) inspire the youth, so they can see a younger person having success and know they can do the same. I want to 2) give back to my community as a way of thanking Douglas County for investing in me when I was growing up. And, I want to 3) bring humanity back to the bench, because judges should be visible and approachable as members of the community they serve. I look forward to earning your vote.
