Firm Summary

I have been a lawyer in San Antonio in estate planning and tax-exempt organizations since 1982, and I am here to serve you.

Although I was born in Lima, Ohio, and raised in rural Ohio, my ancestors were in Texas before the days of the Republic of Texas.

I attended Wheaton College (Ill.) where I was a philosophy and economics major and graduated in 1975. It was there that I met my future wife, Nancy, and we married soon after college. We now have three adult children and six grandchildren.

I attended Harvard Law School and graduated cum laude in 1978.

Because I went through college on an ROTC scholarship I owed the US Army four years of service and my first assignment as Captain in the Army JAG Corps was with the Health Services Command at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio.

Nancy accompanied me to Seoul, Korea, where I was the legal advisor to the Army CID (Criminal Investigation Division), the Army felony investigators.

When we left Korea in June 1982 and the US Army, we returned to San Antonio.

We chose San Antonio over returning to Ohio because of the weather but also because I had instant roots in San Antonio. My mother was born and raised in San Antonio and met my father, who was in the US Army Air Corps, here just before World War II.

Our family came to Texas when it was still a part of Mexico, and one of our ancestors, William Clark, signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. So, I was not born in Texas but got here as fast as I could.

I am proud of my dual Buckeye and Texas heritage, and I am here to serve you on your legal needs.
