What do you enjoy most about practicing law?
I enjoy the clients we work with. They are all very unique and very excited about their real estate developments. Each development brings new questions to the table, and that keeps me on my toes.
What community projects are you involved in?
I am actively involved with Camp McDowell and I volunteer in the NICU at UAB. I am a member of the Junior League of Birmingham.
How do you spend your weekend?
In the fall I tailgate and watch football. During winter and spring I like to go camping.
