Born in Indianapolis and raised outside Zionsville, Indiana, I’m the eldest of three, with a father who transitioned from union carpentry to owning a garage door company, and a devoted stay-at-home mother. I graduated from Pike High School, then earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Indiana University, Bloomington, before attending its School of Law. There, I met my wife, Kathi, and with her support, financed my legal education.
During law school, I secured a clerkship with Indiana Supreme Court Judge Norman Arterburn, which involved researching for what would become the Indiana Trial Rules. Post-clerkship, I joined Livingston, Dildine, Haynie and Yoder, shifting to litigation after Gil Haynie’s sudden passing. My legal practice grew to include family law, general litigation, and defense for health care providers, with notable clients like Ford Motor Company and major insurance firms. I’ve led successful defenses in multimillion-dollar cases, contributing to my accolades as a Best Attorneys in America and Super Lawyer for over two decades.
Passionate about trial work and helping those with significant injuries, I believe in providing competent, empathetic legal representation, following the principle that every client is family.
