Raised and educated in North Carolina, I've spent my career fighting for families and people who had no one else to fight for them, primarily in the area of indigent defense. I've represented hundreds of parents trying to preserve their families, and I've represented hundreds of people in the Court of Appeals. I'm the proud father of a grown daughter, and my wife and I live in the same house we've been in since she was born.
  • Women have the right to make their own medical decisions without governmental interference.
  • It's past time to get rid of the politics of fear, hate, and extremism.
  • We need to take partisanship out of the courtroom to encourage and foster trust in the judicial system.
Among other things, I'm passionate about improving the child welfare system so that families and children get better outcomes. I'm a board-certified specialist in child welfare law.
