Biography
I’ve lived in Oklahoma my entire life. I enjoy traveling, but I am always grateful when I get to come home. I have two boys; one who is a married and has two (plus one on the way) children, and another who is graduating from high school. I have loved raising them and am thankful that Oklahoma is their home.
I enjoy the work I do. Helping my clients to make a plan and work toward implementing their goals is rewarding. I also enjoy assisting clients seeking fairness and equity. The best part of my job is meeting and getting to know my clients. Each client is unique and that comes through in my representation whether it be designing an estate plan, litigating an estate matter, or helping a business owner to implement a succession plan. My work is tailored to my clients.
I am involved in my community through church and various non-profit organizations, and I hope that I make a difference in the lives of the people around me.
