Professional enjoyment: It represents the epitome of servant leadership; From day one, it evokes the concept of pro bono and instills in every lawyer a sense of duty and obligation to provide assistance to those who cannot help themselves

Your inspiration: It started with wanting to help my family and friends in business matters and then evolved to the idea of just being an advocate for people who need help.

Why bar association involvement: In my particular case, it allows me to stay connected and give back to the legal profession while at the same time highlighting the fact that a legal education and experience can open the door to so many other interesting business and career opportunities.

If not a lawyer: CEO of a company, which I was fortunate to become a few years ago.
