First job and lessons learned
“Small law firm intern. If you want to be successful you need to be able to talk to the janitor as well as the CEO, treating both with equal respect.”
Who you look up to and why
“Justice Clarence Thomas. He started from the lowest point one can imagine and became the sharpest legal mind of our century. His writing and clarity of thought are unparalleled. I would recommend his book to anyone and everyone, ‘My Grandfather’s Son.’”
One book everyone should read and why
“‘Mere Christianity’ by C.S. Lewis. It is the most accurate assessment of the human condition written in the modern age.”
A small habit that has helped you succeed
“Reading the Bible. If you read the book of Proverbs or the wisdom of Jesus, it rings just as true today.”
Biggest obstacle you’ve overcome
“At the end of the day, it is God who overcomes the obstacles, while we are honored to be in his plan. Getting law school paid for in a way that allowed me to enter public service was a challenge!”
What you’re most passionate about in your career
“Practicing law with excellence and integrity.”
