Leadership & Pedigree
A Career Built on Truth
Twenty-one years as a Deputy United States Marshal and military JAG training taught me one enduring lesson: truth, gathered with rigorous discipline and legal precision, is the most powerful protection an attorney or client can have.
I founded Living Waters to bring that federal standard to high-stakes litigation and corporate risk mitigation — rooted in faith, delivered with absolute discretion, and accountable to a higher standard.
Excellence Is Our Standard. Service Is Our Calling.
“For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open.”
— Luke 8:17
