I was born and raised in Catonsville, Maryland where I attended grade school at St. Mark's Catholic School and high school at Mt. St. Joseph's College. In 1986, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County campus (UMBC). From there, I went on to the University of Baltimore School of Law graduating in 1989 and receiving my Juris Doctorate Degree. At that point, I was admitted to the Maryland State Bar.
