How I Went from Interrogating Insurgents To Being Your Lawyer.

Much like the photo above, and much like starting a new business (or law firm) for that matter, it was a long, hard and often hot road.

I was a senior in high school when terrorist attacked the Twin Towers and the city of my father’s birth, home to my grandfather and his father before him prior to immigrating to the US. But, at the time I was on the other coast. My home is California, I was born and stayed until that fateful day when I joined the U.S. Army and enlisted to train to be an interrogator.

I was subject to rigorous training, more training than the average soldier. Basic training at Fort Benning, GA, Russian language training for 52 weeks at the Defense Language Institute in Monterrey, CA, Interrogator training in Fort Huachaua, Arizona and finally Parachutists Training (Airborne School) again at Fort Benning, GA. Finally, after 22 or so months I made it to my unit with whom I would stay for five years. I was assigned to the 3rd Infantry (Mechanized - thanks goodness because Airborne School and falling out of the sky terrified me :). I would deploy twice to Iraq for a total of 27/28 months, once to Baghdad and then to Iskandariyah (Alexandria). During my service I was awarded multiple commendation medals of various sorts, including a Bronze Star. I am proud of my service but mostly to have served shoulder to shoulder with the bravest men and women I have ever known. Which, happens to include my wife, whom I met while in Baghdad. She was also a solider, though she should have been reprimanded for stealing my heart in a war zone.

We have been married for 11 years or so, we have two boys, Frankie and Nicholas, who keep us busy on a day to day basis. Just as Frankie was born, we left the U.S. Army for a quitter life in Tampa, Florida.

I, while having a very unique set of abilities in tracking down insurgents, was ill suited for the economy. But, I was smart and I landed a job at the Internal Revenue Service in Tampa where I worked as a tax collector (booooooo - I know, I know, not the most glamorous job, but someone has to keep you honest.) I learned lots of tax procedure and tax laws as they pertain to tax collection. It’s at this job that I decided to pursue studying law.

I studied at Stetson University College of Law in Gulfport, Florida and earned by J.D., receiving high marks, while I was also working at the IRS. It was tough on me, my wife and certainly the family and I could not have done it without them. It would only get harder as I continued my education for one year at Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C., to earn my Masters in Tax Law (LL.M.)

I returned from D.C. and found a position as a corporate attorney with The Walk Law Firm, P.A., under the tutelage of Rochelle Walk. She is a fantastic attorney and a wonderful mentor and I am grateful for having learned from her.

I decided to then open my own law firm, Bay Area Corporate Counsel, to focus on counseling businesses, taxation, helping people buy and sell their businesses, and generally grow my own business. Thus far it has been a wonderful experience. And, that brings me to you. I can’t guarantee how the IRS will treat your tax return but I can tell you I’ll always be honest and forthright. A spade is a spade, whether you like it or not and I’ll be there with you when its a spade and when its not. Something I learned in the service is you always need someone watching out for you and at Bay Area Corporate Counsel, we’ve got your B.A.C.C.
