I’m in my 20's and was one of the youngest people admitted to the Ohio Bar. Being youthful in an “older” profession is really fun and I am amazed at how many attorneys go out of their way to interact with me.
I believe that a career is important, but should not overshadow other areas of life. I meet people all the time and enjoy hearing life stories. Everyone has one – it’s really just a matter of listening. I believe that understanding people is a prerequisite to being a good attorney – and you can’t understand people if you hide in the office and house all day!
Criminal defense appeals a lot to me because it is competitive. I’m a lifelong athlete who spent years as a competitive swimmer. Swimming teaches you that nothing compares to being physically exhausted…it made law school and the bar exam a lot easier for me.
My latest athletic endeavor is power lifting. I started two years ago and made huge strides. Depending on my weight, I can bench 205 without a bench shirt. With a bench shirt, I’ve hit 240 lbs. Lifting is pretty much my biggest hobby, and it gives me the confidence to enter a court room as the youngest person there.
