Small Business and Real Estate Attorney and Advisor
Greater Nashville Area
Over the last decade, I've used my business and legal expertise to help people turn their small business dreams into realities. Recently, I've "given back" as an adjunct instructor of business law and real estate at Belmont University, a judge for the Nashville Business Incubation Center's "Business Plan Competition," and as a member of Vanderbilt University's "Project Dialogue" symposium. Last April, I also launched "Business Booya!," a free-form radio talk show that inspires and guides small business owners and professionals!
