What's the most important thing you are working on right now?  

Tell our readers about your eight years in the United States Navy.

I enlisted in the US Navy in 2001, and I served from 2002 to 2010 as a nuclear reactor operator. I was stationed on the submarine USS Miami, out of Groton, Connecticut. I did two deployments on the Miami, one six-month tour to the Persian Gulf, and a nine-month tour to the North Atlantic. I also spent two years as an instructor at a training facility in upstate NY. If any of my professors thinks teaching law students is tough, try teaching a 19-year-old how to operate a nuclear reactor!

What do you enjoy in your off hours?  

What off hours? I’m kidding. When I’m not working, teaching, or doing work for the Board I sit on, or other miscellaneous items, I love to read both fiction and non-fiction books (I usually have about ten books going at a time), and I’ve taken up walking the trail around Lone Mountain several times a week – I put a cheesy podcast on and get to decompress for 45 minutes, and it’s the best! I also of course love to shop and spend time with friends (safely of course!).
