After being honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy where he served as a Hospital Corpsman for 10 years, he moved to San Francisco where he studied International Relations. He then moved to Mexico at which time he volunteered with the Red Cross in Lake Chapala, Jalisco and studied Spanish. After returning to the United States, he began his career in indigent defense as an intern at the Public Defender’s office in Memphis, TN, where he was later hired as an investigator and worked on the Capital Defense Team.
