Biography

I was born and raised in Springfield, Illinois, where I attended Christ the King Grade School followed by Sacred Heart Griffin High School. I pursued higher education at the University of Missouri, earning a degree in Political Science with minors in American Constitutional Democracy and Leadership and Public Service. During my undergraduate years, I gained valuable experience working in the Missouri House of Representatives in Jefferson City, MO, and the United States House of Representatives in Washington, DC. Before embarking on my legal studies, I served as a committee clerk in the Illinois House of Representatives.

I attended St. Louis University School of Law on a Dean's scholarship. While in law school, I interned at the St. Louis Zoo and the St. Louis County Juvenile Court. After graduating from SLU Law, I obtained my Missouri law license and joined Family Law Partners, where I practiced family law in the St. Louis area for several years.

In September 2024, I obtained my Illinois law license and joined Gates, Wise, Schlosser & Goebel as an associate attorney. I will focus my practice on Commercial and Real Estate Transactions, Business Operations, and General Civil Litigation. My wife, Sofia, and I have been married since 2023, and we are proud parents to a daughter.
