About Me

I am an attorney at Fitzpatrick, Hunt, & Pagano, focusing on aviation law. I spent two years as a judicial law clerk at the US Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Prior to that, I worked as an attorney for the Department of the Air Force practicing civil law in the areas of contracts, employment, ethics, estate planning, and disability law.

I have 12 years of experience on active duty in the military as an Army officer and AH64 Apache pilot where I served as an air mission commander, pilot in command, platoon leader, aide de camp to a Brigadier General, brigade training officer, combat company commander, assistant battalion operations officer and battalion operations officer.
