I’m a retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, Florida native, and proud American. I received a J.D., with honors, from the University of Texas School of Law and a B.S. in Economics from the U.S. Air Force Academy, where I graduated with Military Distinction. I’ve worked with and for General Officers, CEOs, fighter pilots, police officers, and astronauts in high-profile, high-pressure situations for 24 years. I've was assigned to 6 different states and 4 different countries during my career and deployed multiple times in support of Operations SOUTHERN WATCH, IRAQI FREEDOM and ENDURING FREEDOM, where I advised aircrews during real-time strikes of terrorist targets. I'm now a commercial litigation attorney and small business owner. I'm also a Board Member of Habitat for Humanity and the Sarasota Republican Club, and the President of the School Board of Saint Martha Catholic School. I'm also a member of the Military Officers Association and Sarasota and Manatee Chambers of Commerce.
