I began managing the Lexington office in 2005.

I graduated from Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky with a Bachelor of Science in Economics, minoring in Physics in 1978. I then attended the University of Kentucky College of Law, graduating in December of 1980 with a J.D.

In 2006 I was appointed as a Special Justice to the Kentucky Supreme Court and served in that capacity with respect to the matter styled Fletcher v. Graham, 192 S.W.3d 350 (Ky. 2006). I served as a member of the Kentucky Executive Branch Ethics Commission from 2007 to 2012, and as Chairman for two of those years.
