Near the end of my tenure as a prosecutor for the fourth circuit, I was appointed to be in charge of the Drug and Violent Crimes Task Force. When I left the Solicitor's Office, I returned to my hometown of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and entered private practice. I have been actively practicing in Myrtle Beach since 1994. During my time in private practice, I have practiced in all of our courts, including municipal, magistrate, state circuit courts, and federal district court.
