After graduating from law school in 1992 and serving as a law clerk I began practicing law in 1993.  In 1997 I opened my own practice in Richmond, Virginia.  I moved my practice to Powhatan in 2000 where I now reside with my wife Mary Hodge, who is a Certified Paralegal and has a B.A. in Psychology.  We have seven children: Jordan, 11, Emma, 9, Aaron, 5, Gianna, 3, and three that have departed this life; Gabriel, Angela, and Faith-Marie.  We attend St. Benedict's Catholic Church.

I am the past Chairman of the Powhatan Republican Committee from 2002-2004 and a graduate of Powhatan’s first Planning Academy in 2006.  I have also been a Co-Chair and volunteer citizen on the Economic Development Subcommittee for Review of the Comprehensive Plan of Powhatan County.
