I grew up working in construction and gained familiarity with the industry early on. I always enjoyed it and especially loved how, in construction, you could see the results of your work. It’s really gratifying when you drive past a building or project and can say, “I helped build that.”
When I started law school, I was still working construction during the day and attending school at night. So, construction law was a natural area of concentration for me. I completed an externship focusing on construction and real estate law at a small firm, and then landed a clerkship here at BBG where I found my people.
My advice would be to join and get involved in industry groups. For me, being an active member of the AGC Future Leaders Forum is a great way to build relationships, network, and to learn about and understand our clients and the challenges they face in the field.
My claim to fame is that I can drive a Zamboni. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time at the hockey rink, on the golf course, and on the slopes with my family.
