I joined Hameline & Eccleston, LLP in 2018 and developed expertise in the advising energy, oil, gas, and mineral clients on transaction matters covering properties in Ohio. In my practice, I focus on providing efficient and thorough mineral title opinions and due diligence services for clients looking to make mineral acquisitions.
After growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Cincinnati. I then obtained my juris doctorate degree in Chicago from Chicago-Kent College of Law, where I focused my coursework on business law.
When I am not advising clients, I enjoy traveling to interesting food destinations and playing piano and saxophone.
