Managing outside compliance issues and litigation for clients.

I grew up in the industry. My dad started a debt collection law firm when I was little. My first job was filing certified mail green cards! His paralegals had me helping out as soon as I learned the alphabet!

Responsible use of A.I.

I hope that the industry can work together for common goals. The way the industry came together to deal with the Hunstein case was awesome, but too often different facets of the industry don’t work together.

The people! Both attorneys and clients in my firm, some of whom have become close friends.

Not sure it’s the best piece of advice, but the one that has had the biggest impact on my life is from my dad: “Quitters are worse than losers.” But he recently amended it to include: “but losers might be happier.”

Professionally – either writing an amicus brief for the United States Supreme Court or being presented with the National Creditors Bar Association’s Don Kramer award.

Overall – I’m most proud of the family my wife and I have.

Either a lawyer or a high school history teacher.

I work both from my home and my office. 

My favorite part of being in my office is being surrounded by my Star Wars stuff. 

My favorite part of working from home is my co-worker – my English Black Lab, Harrison.

Books: The Count of Monte Cristo and Ready Player One

Movie: Star Wars

TV Show: Anything Star Wars, The West Wing, or Ted Lasso

Podcast: Full of Sith

Music: Depends. When I’m working- Star Wars soundtracks; when I’m working out – an eclectic mix of rock, alternative, rap, and pop; and when I’m on my boat – classic rock.

That I’ve been reading biographies of each U.S. President in order and I’m up to George H.W. Bush.
