About Me

Last May I moved back to Nebraska after living in D.C. for five years.While living in D.C. I worked on Capitol Hill for two years for a Congressman from North Carolina and then went to law school at Georgetown.I'm now working for a justice on the Nebraska Supreme Court.I'm a pretty nice guy... except when I'm playing rugby; ) I see the glass half full and try to surround myself with people who also have a positive outlook on life because I find that kind of attitude to be contagious.I have a great apartment downtown and can usually, ok always, be easily convinced to hit up the bars!; )..Check out me yelling "Go Nebraska" in the background...

My Interests

I spend most of my free time hanging out with friends, working out, and playing rugby.I also enjoy watching football, camping, hiking, and going to wineries.One of my biggest passions is traveling... particularly internationlly, but I also enjoy a last minute roadtrip.
