Occupation	Business and Insurance Attorney and Mediator
Location	Athens, GA, GA, United States
Introduction	I am a lawyer and mediator from Athens, Georgia. For most of my career, I practiced at large law firms in Atlanta. I started my career doing all types of civil litigation. Then I got into the area of business law, helping clients with supply contracts, non-disclosure agreements, terms and conditions and other contracts. Along the way, I handled a lot of insurance related claims. I also act as a mediator in commercial disputes. Today, my law practice mainly consists of assisting a select group of clients with commercial issues. I am available as a mediator, and also teach Insurance Law as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Georgia School of Law.
Interests	Law, mediation, technology, golf, outdoor photography
Favorite Movies	I am not much of a movie buff, but would have to say Caddy Shack, O Brother Where Art Thou, and the Raiders of the Lost Ark series. Some of the movies about Project Apollo are good.
Favorite Music	80s. I was in Athens from 1979-1982, so R.E.M. is a favorite (at least some of it). I also like Fleetwood Mac and some of the newer country music.
Favorite Books	Many. Some good ones are Final Rounds, various books about Project Apollo and many others. Tucker Carlson's Ship of Fools is worth a read, as is almost anything by Walter Isaacson, A.J. Baime, and Winston Groom. Brett Baier's books on Eisenhower and Truman are good.
