I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the University of Florida in 1987. I then went on to receive my Juris Doctor degree in 1991, also at the University of Florida. While attending the University of Florida College of Law, I was a Teaching Fellow and interned for the State Attorney’s Office in the Eighth Judicial Circuit of the State of Florida. I was also a member of the Attorney General Staff for the University of Florida Student Honor Court.
I was employed as a law clerk with several firms: Rumrell and Johnson, PA in Jacksonville; Stripling and Mc Michael, PA in Gainesville; and Chandler, Gray, Lang and Haswell, PA in Gainesville. I also have experience with a publisher, Gleim Publications, Inc., where I acquired superior proofreading and editing skills. I began working at Beltz and Ruth, PA in 1992. During the eighteen (18) years with the firm, I primarily worked on complex malpractice, nursing home, products and motor vehicle cases. However, I also enjoyed the exposure to other areas of law such as contract, consumer and employment.
I have handled trials and arbitrations as lead attorney. I have assisted colleagues with numerous cases tried by the firm during my career. I have a vast amount of medical knowledge, including knowledge of medical devices and drugs. I’m a member of the prestigious Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
I am a member of the Florida Bar and the Minnesota State Bar Association. I am admitted to practice before all Florida and Minnesota state courts and the Federal Middle District Court of Florida and the Federal Southern District Court of Florida.
As a talented billiards player, I enjoy competing in billiards tournaments. I also own Miniature Dachshunds and enjoy fishing in my spare time.
