My military service as a developmental engineer working with satellites and satellite ground systems shaped my approach to law by instilling a deep technical understanding, precision in problem-solving, and the ability to manage complex, multidisciplinary projects. This experience taught me to analyze systems thoroughly and work collaboratively under high-stakes conditions, which I now apply to navigating intricate legal matters, crafting strategies, and addressing clients' needs with a focus on detail and efficiency.

For me, being a veteran means a commitment to defend this country and its ideals that doesn't end when military service concludes--it's a lifelong duty. The values I upheld in uniform, like freedom, integrity, and responsibility, remain at the core of who I am. I carry this mindset of service into everything I do, whether it's through community involvement, mentoring others, or simply living by example.
