introduction
My focus is being a part of the team that creates, operates and maintains a successful franchise both from the business and legal perspective. Handling all legal issues that impact a franchise system is of course my forte including the herding of and managing of outside counsel. Experience, creativity and persistence are at the core of my success and have helped me become a thoughtful experienced advisor and a skillful negotiator who can "close " the deal. One is never too old to learn and one should always be guided by the "think big" and "can do" mantras. My daily goal is to achieve results that best serve our clients. I am blessed to be able to say with candor that I love my role here and look forward to each day and the challenges, people and events every new day brings into my life.
