District Court, Middle District of Tennessee - February 2014 MEMBERSHIPTennessee Bar Associationtrial experience4 Jury Trials and 50+ General Sessions trials in Middle and Eastern Tennessee. In His Own Words The first words Kreis White ever said to me were If you wear a tie to your interview, I may strangle you with it. I knew I was home...I joined the firm in 2011 just after graduating from law school. Since then, Ive had the opportunity to litigate in a multitude of different Courts and counties throughout Middle and Eastern Tennessee. While the hours and miles are certainly taxing, I love learning just how unique each venue can be, and how those nuances can impact a lawsuit. When not working, the majority of my entertainment comes from supporting Vanderbilt Athletics with my wife, Beth (the only person Ive ever met who actually loves the Commodores more than I do). Highlights include being featured on a national tailgating show, seeing the first Bowl win since the Reagan administration, and getting to witness the Baseball National Championship in Omaha. However to be fair, lowlights include multiple 3-9 seasons, frequent NCAA tournament disappointments, having a football stadium smaller than many Texas high schools. So it really all balances out in the end. When Im not watching the Commodores, I enjoy drawing, kickball, or simply relaxing on the back porch. Oh, there are two kids...whos day to pick them up, Beth?
