Overview.
I have practiced law since 1985, focused mainly on financial areas (estates/trusts, estate administration, business, contract, commercial, pensions/employee benefits, mergers/acquisitions). Additionally, I taught business law at the Executive MBA level for over 15 years at the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
I have also served on many boards over my 36-year career, including Airlite Plastics Co., with whom I’ve served since 2010. I enjoy solving difficult legal and business problems. I am currently mostly focusing my practice on estate planning, post-death estate and trust administration, and general business representation.
My Story
Who I am.
I was born and raised in Omaha. I attended school here through high school. I attended the University of Iowa for my undergrad and law degrees. Early in my career, I worked in a family-based law firm with my dad and two brothers. After 32 years of private practice, I joined a local corporate trust company as Vice President and Trust Officer. Two years later, in 2021, I re-entered private practice.
I have been married since 1987. My wife and I have raised four kids, all of whom kept us busy with club and school soccer. We are now “empty-nesters,” which allows me to spend even more time and attention on my professional pursuits.
My Values.
These are things that I believe are important in the way I live and work. These are the behaviors that motivate me and guide my decisions.
