As a partner at SWR, I defend utility companies, manufacturers, distributors and retailers in product liability matters usually involving fires and explosions. I've been lead counsel in jury trials in state and federal courts throughout the Midwest. Being in the courtroom and trying cases is really my passion at work. I really enjoy the competition with other accomplished attorneys. My father was a trial attorney and I've known that's what I wanted to be since I was a little boy.

I am honored to be among those repeatedly selected for SuperLawyer's, Best's Lawyers, Martindale Hubbell and Best of the Kansas City Bar.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time at the lake with my wife, daughter and son. My son and I enjoy scuba diving together in the Florida Keys (or wherever we can get that it is warm). I enjoy listening to all types of music and attending live concerts. I'm also an avid Sooner Football and Kansas Basketball fan.
