Summary
I'm an out-of-the-box thinker who likes to be challenged. Over the course of my journey, I have found myself working in almost every position in a law firm. Through fate and a talent with understanding computers, I ended up in the field of eDiscovery of which I have preferred as it is a field that is constantly evolving and challenging. I have accumulated 20+ years of information technology and electronic discovery/litigation support experience. I now have an extensive knowledge of the discovery process from a technical and business perspective, and a intimate knowledge of the use of technology for building a successful case.
