My desire to become a lawyer was inspired by my experience as a baseball player. As a catcher, I was tasked with remembering and applying many rules in the New York Yankees organization. This became more intense when I played professionally. Four years into my professional career, I began thinking about alternative careers. One of my mentors has a son who became a lawyer. I asked him countless questions about practicing law. It sounded like an exciting career choice. Then, a sports injury caused me to seek a new career path. So, I tested for admittance to law school. What I like best about this profession is the similarities to professional sports competition. I enjoy going to court, preparing witnesses, and discussions with judges and opposing attorneys. I feel fortunate to be able to help clients. Their mistakes could have been avoided had they called me first. When I see a client breathe a sigh of relief, it confirms my decision to become a trial lawyer.
