To someone else, it could easily be concluded that 2015 was the worst year of my life. I lost the love of my life in February, but with much prayer and friends holding me close, I still consider myself a very blessed man as we close out this year. Whenever I feel down, I sit and think of all my blessings, personally and professionally. I am thankful for my beloved children, my family, my staff, my friends, my business, my clients and how fortunate I am to be able to do something that I love- serving others. I am truly blessed to have all of these in my life.

It says in Luke 12:48 when someone is given much then much will be required in return and when someone is entrusted with much, even more will be required. As I move forward into 2016, my pledge is that I will not take any blessing for granted and I am going to do my best to live up to the dictates of Luke. I plan to continue to help and serve others, be the best attorney and counselor I can be and be generous and kind to those not as fortunate as me.

God has been good to me and I plan to return his favor.
