What are some career Lessons you've learned thus far? 

Someone recently told me that focusing on learning 10% more than you knew yesterday will ensure that you are always making progress toward becoming a better lawyer.

What does a typical day look like for you?

I usually go to the barn before coming into the office to take care of my horse. I spend the rest of the day working through my tasks assigned to me by the Partners (and Sara), then head home. I typically ride my horse in the evening, walk my dogs, go for a run, and when feeling super ambitious I try a new recipe for dinner.      

Why did you decide to pursue the career you have today?

I grew up in Delaware, in a very strong agricultural community. I was very active in the FFA during high school and also attended Fresno State, which is known as a strong agricultural school. Additionally, I really enjoyed accounting classes during my 4 years at Fresno. In law school Property law was my favorite first year course, so I started looking into real estate courses and other things of that nature. Through that I decided to take oil and gas and discovered a new favorite course. The subject felt right for me pretty quickly, considering my agricultural background and affinity for numbers.

For Love of the Game is probably my favorite. I really enjoy sports movies, but I am also a huge Harry Potter fan.

I enjoy supporting the Dallas Mavericks and the Cleveland Browns. On the college level, I always enjoy keeping up with my alma mater, Fresno State Equestrian.
