                As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

                                I grew up in the state with the "worst capital markets" (what does that mean, anyway?)  and now live in the land of binge-drinking with Mandy.
