Our approach is comprehensive and client-centered to ensure that our clients’ wishes are carried out and that their loved ones do not have to deal with unnecessary, and preventable challenges. 

Michigan Grown and Committed to Service

I was born into a military family, and lived in Virginia and Japan before my parents settled back in Michigan.  After high school, I attended the United States Military Academy at West Point.  I then commissioned as an infantry officer, graduated from the US Army Ranger School, and deployed to combat in Afghanistan where I was awarded the Combat Infantryman’s Badge and the Bronze Star.  I then transitioned to law school at Michigan State, and graduated summa cum laude.  After law school, I served as a Judge Advocate in the 4th Infantry Division.  I now live in Traverse City with my family, multiple pets, and assorted livestock.  Life is good!
