My Story

Born and raised in the heart of the Lowcountry, I grew up in the North Area, where my childhood was filled with fond memories of playing little league baseball, exploring the beaches for sharks' teeth, and spending quality time with friends. I graduated from Stall High School and chose to stay close to home, enrolling at the College of Charleston. After gaining experience working in retail and at a customs brokerage firm, I decided to pursue a career in law.

​

In 2003, I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law after three enriching years in Columbia. I began my legal career at two civil litigation firms, where I gained valuable experience. At the first, I handled diverse cases ranging from personal injury claims to toxic tort defense. At the second, I focused primarily on managing a national toxic tort litigation portfolio as part of the National Coordinating Counsel team for a corporate client.

​

With a desire to make a more direct impact in my local community, I opened my own law firm. My goal is to help individuals and families navigate legal challenges, whether it’s probating an estate, planning for the future, or starting a new business. I am committed to serving each client with honesty, integrity, and a personalized approach to help them achieve their goals.

​

Today, I live in Hanahan—a charming small-town community that I deeply appreciate—with my wife and our three active boys. We attend Restoration Community Church and enjoy spending time outdoors. Whether it's pulling for the College of Charleston Cougars, the South Carolina Gamecocks, or my sons' little league teams, I love being part of this vibrant community. You can often find me on the baseball fields, fishing in neighborhood ponds, or soaking up the sun at the beach.

​

I’m passionate about helping others live life to the fullest, and I’d be honored to assist you in doing the same.
