I was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana and grew up in Roanoke. I graduated from Huntington North High School in 1995. I chose to go into law because I enjoy helping others achieve their present and future goals in an efficient manner. As a young lawyer, I have the advantage of not only a great education but also the ability to utilize the knowledge and expertise of the other more experienced attorneys at Shambaugh, Kast, Beck & Williams, LLP.

I primarily practice estate and personal planning, estate and trust administration, charities, taxation, business organizations, commercial transactions, and real estate. I chose these areas because I enjoying serving my clients as a counselor.

My wife, Carrie, and I have two daughters - Allison, born in 2004, and Katie, born in 2006.
