I grew up in a small town just south of Houston called Bay City. I grew up around a bunch of lawyers. My dad was a second career lawyer after being in the trucking business for a long time.

I think one of the things that sets me apart is basically from the age of 16 on I lived by myself. I had my own place, had to work to help pay my bills. I worked a wide variety of different jobs including trucking, welding, I worked on a grass farm, worked in a funeral home, worked in restaurants so I got a background in a lot of various kind of unique jobs that I think help me want to understand my clients a little better. And I’ve had to work for where I am today nothing was handed to me and I think that makes me appreciate the clients and the people I represent because they’re usually hard working Texans who are just in a bad situation. And I can understand when something goes wrong how it can truly affect their entire lives.
