EDUCATION
I grew up in South Bend, Indiana, graduating from Marian High School in 1988.
My education continued at Valparaiso University, where I was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance in 1992.
I graduated from Valparaiso University School of Law in 1996. During my third year I served on the steering committee. Also while in law school, I participated in the Federalist Society, arranging discussions and debates on campus covering a wide variety of “hot topics” of the day.
Since graduating from law school, I maintain my education through attendance at numerous continuing legal education seminars on a wide variety of subjects. I continue to average several days each month in continuing legal education as well as lecturing at various continuing education seminars.
