I know St. Patrick’s was yesterday, but I feel lucky every day.

I am excited to announce that I will be part of Leadership Oakland’s Breakfast of Champions this year! I am also excited to announce that I am still considered young. Registration for the event is now open!

I think they were talking about burgers, but I’ll interpret it how I want.

I don’t gain anything from talking about cancer. I have a day job that keeps me busy as it is. But if one person reads this and it changes their life, then all I lost was some time writing an article. This is for that person.

I look forward to this new chapter of service to the Bar and state!

Whenever and wherever—we are ready.

When the Christmas cheer hits.

Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough And have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now.

Oh, the places you’ll go (for a client).

So much has happened in Oxford in the past 24 hours. My prayers continue to be with the families and students impacted. Charges were filed today, and tomorrow morning I will be on The Paul W. Smith Show (WJR 760 AM) to discuss what those charges mean and what to expect in the legal process.
