I am an attorney in Porter Wright's Cincinnati Office focusing on construction and commercial business litigation and contract negotiation. I have been involved in the successful resolution of claims in state and federal courts in both Ohio and Kentucky as well as multiple private arbitrations and mediations.
My pre-law background is firmly rooted in the construction industry. I received my undergraduate degree in Construction Management from the University of Cincinnati. I also worked for an ENR Top 500 Specialty Contractor as a project manager/estimator before and while attending law school. I am a LEED Accredited Professional and have served as an adjunct professor in the University of Cincinnati’s Construction Management program for the past twelve academic years teaching "Construction Documents, Law, & Project Delivery Systems," "Construction Law," and "Construction Scheduling."
Prior to joining Porter Wright, I worked as a bond attorney for a national surety where I was involved in the investigation and disposition of complex claims against construction payment & performance bonds and also estate & guardianship bonds. I worked closely with outside counsel throughout the country and developed a first-hand understanding and perspective of client expectations. More...
