I grew up in Genoa, Ohio close to where my office is today. Upon graduating from Bowling Green I worked as a Registered Nurse in the Toledo Area and then in Washington D.C. When I returned home, I decided on another path and entered law school. 

After graduating from the University of Toledo I went into business with my father who opened this office in 1949. For over 30 years, I have had the honor of serving the people of Northwest Ohio including those in Ottawa, Sandusky, and Lucas County. 

My practice focuses mainly on estate planning, and trust and estate administration. This practice also includes advising clients on any potential guardianship designations and proceedings. I also practice in the area of general real estate law, including drafting residential leases and purchase agreements.

From an early age, I was able to appreciate how important providing advice and counsel to people is. As the child of two attorneys, it was important to learn from them how to treat people, and serve others. I grew up in Oak Harbor, Ohio and attended undergrad at The Ohio State University. 

Following my graduation, I returned home and began law school at the University of Toledo. I am excited to come back to my hometown and continue the practice my grandfather and mother started.   

My current practice focuses primarily on estate planning and administration. I also represent clients in dividing marital property and drafting separation agreements.
