Year Admitted to The Florida Bar: 1997

I have served one year as a member of the BCBA Board of Directors, having been appointed
to fill a one year vacancy created when Carlos Llorente won election as Secretary-Treasurer last year.
I am now running to a fill a Central Area seat for the 2008-2010 term.

My ties to Broward County go back to 1970, growing up in Plantation and attending St. Thomas Aquinas H.S. After graduating from Nova Southeastern University Law School, I began my legal career at the Broward County Public
Defender's Office as an Assistant Public Defender. After leaving the Public Defender's Office, I have
since spent my career representing individuals in personal injury, wrongful death and products liability cases, in both state and federal court.

After spending nearly my whole life and my entire legal career here in Broward County, I'm now
raising my own family here. I believe the law and the legal community can make a real difference
in people's lives - and it all starts locally. The Broward County Bar Association can do great things
for our community. The organization can provide information, education, assistance, and direction
to our citizens, and help protect people's rights. We also serve as a resource for this County's
lawyers. I am an officer and board member of the Broward County Trial Lawyers' Association. If
elected I will work to strengthen the Broward County Bar Association, increase its membership
through my extensive ties to the trial bar, represent the diverse interests of the lawyers in Broward
County and provide access to the resources and information that this organization has to offer.
