After graduating Walnut Hills High School in 1983 it was on to Miami University in Oxford Ohio. Majoring in Mass Communications & Broadcast Journalism as well as being a member of the Miami University football team, further developed my work ethic and teamwork. Next, was law school at the University of Cincinnati, College of Law.
