Community Activities
I'm actively engaged in my local parish and numerous charitable and community causes including the Volunteer Attorney Project and local political campaigns.
When not practicing law....
Like most people, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I have diverse interests from learning history and enjoying baseball games at the K to exploring the world through travel and creating art through my photography and other media. Although age has slowed me somewhat, I also enjoy participating in sports from snow skiing, tennis, basketball, and occasionally a round of golf even if it is, as Mark Twain would say, a good walk ruined.
