Me simply put, I strive for excellence.  Being committed to both my personal and professional success is who I am.  Looking for the next challenge is what drives me. Overcoming obstacles is what I do. Here is what you need to know about me: Personally, I committed to becoming a super athlete. Starting as a runner, 5ks became 10ks which turned into half, full & ultra marathons. Balancing a full time job and two young children, training runs if not at the crack of dawn, included a mini biker and a stroller. Completing over 20 marathons and accomplishing a 3:30 marathon time, required a new challenge. Triathloning. Swimmer’s panic and long distance cycling were intimidating, yet Sprint Triathlons became Olympic Triathlons which led to Ironman 70.3. Consistency and hard work earned me an 8th place finish in my age group.  A tragic cycling accident resulting in a broken neck tested my will and resolve presenting the greatest obstacle imaginable. Commitment to personal success was at the heart of months of recovery, physical therapy, and renewed training for the Boston Marathon, only ten months later.  That is who I am and that is what I do.   Professionally, I have committed more than 20 years to practice of law.  I served as a Deputy Attorney General for 10+ years after which I transitioned into private practice as a plaintiff’s personal injury lawyer for 5+ years. I was Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney. I have spent the last 6 years of my career managing lawyer’s and accountant’s professional liability litigation across all 50 states expanding my legal experience in all areas of practice. I have been repeatedly recognized with internal department rewards, a promotion and increased responsibilities with higher exposure cases. Who I am and what I do has allowed me to excel and set myself apart professionally.
