What excites you about working with lawyers and law firms?

As a son of two high-powered attorneys, I have extensive experience in the legal space and understanding the challenges that lawyers face on a daily basis. To be able to enable lawyers to live more fulfilling and successful lives is something close to my heart. I am looking forward to helping change mindsets, attitudes, and habits to create more purposeful and productive lives.

How does your past experience help you in your job?

My professional background across various industries has exposed me to a wide array of working environments and challenges. This has given me a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed regardless of industry, and along with my education has prepared me to be a valuable tool for professionals seeking elite performance. Your experiences in politics, sports, nonprofits, marketing, and consulting likely provide you with a broad range of skills and knowledge that you can apply to help professionals in any industry achieve their goals.

What is something most people don’t know about you?

In my free time, I’ve had the opportunity to work with the University of Edinburgh’s men’s and women’s ice hockey teams. Over the past year, I provided performance consulting services to the teams, helping them to optimize their approach to training and competition. I was thrilled to see the women’s team win the British University Ice Hockey National Championship, which was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team members. This experience further reinforced my educational background in performance psychology and provided me with invaluable insights into the world of performance optimization.
