“I came to appreciate the importance of sound estate, tax and business succession planning early in my career. While obtaining my undergraduate degree in engineering I found I could apply the same engineering analysis and problem-solving methods to the law. When my father passed away, he left several businesses to run, real estate to manage and an estate to be administered. These experiences enabled me to efficiently work with clients to navigate complex challenges people often face in business operations, tax and estate planning situations.”
