I am an advocate and representative for businesses focusing in the industrial hemp and legal cannabis industry. I am the author of “Cannabis Business Law”, a legal business primer for industry professionals and lawyers alike, and the firsts such book of its kind. I have been focusing all of my advocacy efforts to promotion of and legalization efforts for the last 5 years, backed by nearly two decades as a business, corporate, and bankruptcy lawyer. Over the years, I have helped thousands of businesses and individuals reorganize and thrive.I am passionate about music and play guitar every day. I gig with my rock band most weekends and do session work for friends on the side. I am in love with my wife, who also happens to be the first girl I kissed on a play date in first grade. We have 5 great kids who never cease to inspire, challenge, encourage, and educate us about themselves, ourselves, and life. We’re fortunate to live in Asheville, NC and travel often.I hope to get an opportunity to speak with you. Until then, and if you’re interested, my official bio is below. I include it because it probably matters to you (as it should) that I have almost two decades of experience practicing law and that I know what I’m talking about. But, the most important things I’d like to convey are that I care and I listen. I’ve got my share of grey hairs and have handled thousands of cases; however, I’m not an aloof, judgmental, starched shirt lawyer. I’d rather wear my jeans to the office, have a real conversation, and get to know you.
