For over a decade, my career was forged inside the complex machinery of the U.S. federal government. As senior legal counsel for agencies like the Department of Health & Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs, my role wasn't just to understand the law, it was to create intricate regulatory frameworks, manage high-stakes compliance, advise on ethics, and mitigate risk on a national scale.

That experience was the perfect training ground for the legal challenges businesses face today.

The explosive growth of Artificial Intelligence and the increasing complexity of global commerce are creating a new set of rules that most are unprepared to navigate. The core challenges, however, are the same ones I've spent a career mastering: How do you ensure compliance in an uncertain landscape? How do you build ethical guardrails around powerful new systems? How do you protect an organization while still enabling it to achieve its mission?

I founded the new Southern Regional Law Group to answer these questions. I translate my deep experience in federal compliance and risk management into practical, strategic legal counsel for innovators. Whether you are deploying a new AI model or launching your business in the U.S. for the first time, you need a guide who has been on the inside. I provide that guidance, helping you build a future that is not only ambitious but also secure.
