He currently serves as the Chief Legal Counsel at JP Morgan Law.
Originally from East Liverpool, Ohio, he comes from a family that started a furniture business. In the 7th grade, his family relocated to Mineral Ridge, where he graduated from Mineral Ridge High School. He shares fond memories of growing up in Mineral Ridge, including his first “small” business venture as a child.
He later attended the C.S. Lewis Institute in Youngstown, an organization focused on helping individuals grow as disciples in their faith. Passionate about service, he volunteers with Northeast Ohio Legal Aid and has also given back by coaching high school baseball and basketball at Heartland Christian.
Since 2002, he has operated his law office in downtown Warren, where he practices as a small general attorney with a focus on domestic/family law and criminal law. With over two decades of experience downtown, he offers insightful reflections on how the area has changed—and what steps can be taken to further its growth and revitalization.
He also shares candid thoughts on how Warren can be aggressively developed and grown, offering ideas for progress and positive change.
Side note: Warren’s city income tax rate is 2.5%.
And yes, there’s a brief (and slightly passionate) detour into a discussion about the Cleveland Browns—thanks in advance for your patience.
In closing, I asked him: If you could pull every string necessary to turn Warren around, what would you do?
Also—welcome to Warren, Kimberly-Clark and Rural King.
