About

I grew up in Carpentersville, Illinois, one of five kids. As a single parent, my mother worked two full-time jobs to provide for us. She is – by far – the strongest person I have ever met. I am proud to be her son, and thank her for showing me how to work hard and persevere.

As a trial lawyer, I’ve received additional, intensive training in trial skills from two nationally recognized programs: National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA) and the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, Regional. These are two of the best programs in the country with nationally renowned trial lawyers as the faculty.

For over 15 years now, I have represented members of our community. I take that responsibility very seriously. I am aware that most people are hesitant to talk to or hire a lawyer. This is why I am grateful for, and honored to represent, my clients.

I am married to Michelle. She is the love of my life and best friend. We have two beautiful daughters who play volleyball for their schools and club. We also have a dog, Birdie, who only comes around when I have food in my hand. Our lives currently revolve around our daughters and their volleyball schedules, but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
