I was born and raised in Michigan. I received my law degree from The Florida State University College of Law and my undergraduate degree from The University of Florida. Prior to law school, I worked as a legal assistant for Ellis, Ged, and Bodden, P.A. in Boca Raton gaining vast experience in the transactional, personal injury, and mass tort departments of the firm. It was at this firm where my passion for justice began to grow. While attending The Florida State University, College of Law, I worked for the Florida Justice Association spearheading their law school outreach program and becoming the Director of Law School Outreach. I was working directly with then President, Senator Gary Farmer spreading the FJA’s message of open access to courts and defending justice to law students across the state.
After law school, I relocated to Northwest Florida, where I worked for Michles & Booth, P.A. representing injured victims. My wife and I moved to Tampa in 2017 where I have had the honor of opening Michles & Booth, P.A.'s Tampa office. I bring with me years of experience and a passion for justice, to zealously represent those injured due to no fault of their own.
