What has contributed to your success… Passion. I believe that “how you do anything is how you do everything.” I am motivated by taking whatever I find—be that a person, place, or an idea—and leaving it better than when I found it. When a client is distressed, it is my job to make that client better—whether through an out-of-court or in-court process.

Most enjoy about his career… I love working with my clients to achieve the best solution possible, as a result I have restructured billions of dollars of debt out-of-court for clients around the globe—saving companies and careers.
