My practice is more than legal work. I am a business strategist and asset protection specialist holding the certified asset protection planner designation. I help design dynamic plans that protect both families and businesses. I help guide businesses to profitability and scalability utilizing both legal planning and business operation guidance.

The significance of prudent planning, understanding the intricacies of debt, and recognizing the ramifications of a poorly executed strategy deeply inform my approach. Whether crafting a comprehensive estate plan or launching a new business venture, I firmly believe that meticulous preparation is the cornerstone of success.


At the center of my world is my beloved wife, Amy, and our two precious daughters, Natalie and Sasha. Rounding out the family is our Australian Shepard, Zola. Amy, is a dedicated Nurse Practitioner helping those in need with their mental health. She is passionate for helping people heal and overcome psychological and mental disorders. She is a retired Army Captain and served our great country with honor.


My professional ethos centers on forging enduring relationships with my clients, embracing an innovative “think outside the box” approach to my work. I am an eternal optimist, choosing to see the glass as half full rather than half empty. My unwavering commitment is to not merely meet but to exceed the expectations of each and every client, delivering results that truly matter.


Together, let us navigate the path of life with confidence, armed with robust plans and fortified connections. Your security, growth, and aspirations are my driving force.
