I graduated from the University of Missouri School of Law in 1965, and began my career as a professional probate attorney from Sarasota, FL. My first position was in the Technical Division of the Internal Revenue Service in Washington, DC from 1966 to 1968. I was called into the Air Force (Andrews Air Force Base Legal Office) during the Pueblo Crisis in 1968 until the middle of 1969.
I graduated from George Washington University with a Master of Laws Degree in 1970. (LLM in Taxation). The Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Washington was my next employer. I was in the Tax Section. In 1971 I began my practice in legal services in Sarasota, FL, and have practiced here since that time.
