I began volunteering at Manna in high school as a shelf stocker. In college, I tutored children at a Birmingham grade school. At the University of Alabama, I was lucky that my law school offered a free clinic providing elder law services, which cemented my desire to work with the elderly and end-of-life population professionally and as a volunteer. Now, working with the Covenant Care Foundation, I am grateful to be a part of an organization promoting and protecting the dignity of the aging and dying.I am a proud father, generally acceptable husband, swimmer, cycler, traveler, dog trainer, and bon vivant. In my free time, I practice estate planning, guardianship, and probate law.My wife, Laura, and I are raising three bright and rambunctious children: Cannon, Sarah, and Bill.
