Making Things Happen - That's my job. Whether in the political or legal arena, I utilize my extensive repertoire of persuasion and negotiation to drive outcomes. I love the law, I love creating political alliances, and I love bringing about change.

Part go-getter, master manipulator, and political guru, I have been a leader all my life. Articulate, driven, and focused, I enjoy the good fight, I enjoy the successful results, and I don't know how to quit.

However, having driven to a ranch getaway in the Santa Ynez Valley, I brought home a mini Schnauzer named Lucky, but only because a horse wouldn't fit in the car... of course then I realized, I was lucky, too.

My preferences tend to run like this... Sunset to sunrise, Tiathlons over 10K's, Building instead of tearing things down, Forging ahead despite the rain, and continuously repeating...

You only live once!
