Why he chose to specialize in this field
I enjoy working with people. Estate planning, estate administration and business law give me the opportunity to help folks plan for the expected and the unexpected and deal with what can be difficult situations. It has been a great career choice. It has given me the opportunity to work with some really wonderful people and their families.

History teacher or a travel consultant. I enjoy history and love to travel.
