  • "What keeps me going after all these years is simple: people. I’ve sat across from families who’ve lost everything because of a dangerous drug, a defective product, or corporate negligence and I’ve seen firsthand what happens when the system fails them. That fire in my gut to right those wrongs? It’s never gone out."
