  • You have your own YouTube channel. Tell us about it.

    My YouTube channel is all about my fishing adventures. I love to be outdoors and go fishing in my free time, so I thought why not start recording my experiences and sharing them with others. I grew up close to the New River in Wythe County, Virginia. As a kid, my brother and dad would take me smallmouth bass, walleye, muskie, and trout fishing. Fishing is also a hobby that runs in my family. My grandpa was a fisherman, and the hobby has passed down to my dad, brother, sister, me, and my nephews and nieces. Even my wife likes to fish.

  • If you could take a trip tomorrow, where would you go?

    I would go to the Amazon River in Brazil to fish for peacock bass. Peacock bass are super strong, colorful, and perhaps the coolest freshwater fish on the planet. I have caught peacock bass in South Florida, but I hear that those are nothing like the ones in the Amazon River.

  • Who or what inspired you to become a lawyer?

    I enrolled in a business law course in high school that was taught by a retired lawyer from New York. His class was very challenging, but also very interesting. He expected his students to learn the material, and he pushed us to work harder than we had in our other classes. It was obvious from his teaching that he had a fulfilling career and enjoyed his work. That is when I knew I wanted to become a lawyer, and I have never looked back.
