I am a first-year student at the University of Memphis Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law with a focused interest in commercial litigation. Before I ever opened a casebook, I spent years learning how to compete, how to lead, and — most usefully for a future litigator — how to make a hard call in public and stand behind it.
As a collegiate baseball player, I learned what sustained effort actually looks like: early mornings, late practices, and the discipline to improve incrementally over a full season. As a fraternity executive officer at Mississippi State, I managed a large peer organization — earning authority through persuasion, not rank. And as a certified baseball umpire, I made split-second, irreversible decisions under adversarial conditions, explained my reasoning to coaches actively disagreeing with me, and maintained order on the field without backing down.
Each of these experiences taught me something that cannot be acquired in a classroom. Together, they produced the temperament and character a large litigation practice is looking for. I invite you to explore each in depth — follow the links below.
