I am grateful to have made it to the start of my forty-seventh consecutive Spring Season living here in Columbia, South Carolina. Thirty-nine of those seasons have been experienced as a practicing attorney! Sometimes spring roars in like a lion and at other times comes in like a lamb. We have had a very mixed weather pattern the first few months of 2017, but I can honestly tell you whichever way springtime enters, I have never been more excited about living in the Midlands and experiencing everything we have to offer, here, in the Soda City. From theater to music, to the Three Rivers Greenway and the University of South Carolina, to the diverse culinary dining options and the countless community events, to the overall growth and vitality of this vibrant city, I feel truly blessed to live and work in this world-class city and a happening place. I invite you too, to explore, participate, and enjoy the limitless offerings of our exceptional capital city, Columbia, South Carolina!
