About Me
We all have multiple facets to our lives. Before becoming a lawyer, I was a classical musician—a clarinet player. I attended the N.C. School of the Arts for high school and college, and I attended the University of Michigan for a Masters in Music. At Michigan, I studied with David Shifrin, who for years led New York’s Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. My only professional recording was for the Vox Record label, and the musicians making the recording included Joseph Robinson, solo oboe of the N.Y. Philharmonic. I am married to a musician, my daughter sings as an avocation, and my son studies cello at The Juilliard School. While I can unequivocally say I treasure being a lawyer, music remains a big part of my life.
PS: To balance things out, you should know that back in the late ‘70s, I and another guy helped a friend of ours build a 4,800 square foot solar house—literally, it was just the three of us. I was very good at sheet-rock!
