About me

I was raised in Greenville, and (except for college) have lived in Darke County my entire life. I married Karin Funderburg in 1997, and we have three children: Audrey (10), Jacob (7), and Hallie (3).

I am a 1989 graduate of Greenville High School. My undergraduate degree (business) is from Bowling Green State University, and I completed law school at the University of Toledo. I became a licensed attorney in 1996, and I have worked for two other firms before deciding to start my own practice in December 2005.

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family and follow politics.

The story of my office

After starting my solo law practice, I began looking for a building to purchase in downtown Greenville (having rented up to that point). Most of the available buildings were far too large for my needs - and usually included second and third floor apartments.

In January 2008, I saw a "for sale" sign in the storefront at 612 South Broadway in Greenville. I was excited about the location at first, but a little disappointed to discover how small it was on the inside. And the office was also in poor shape, having not been updated in decades.

Still, I went home and started drawing a design for how I could operate a law office out of the space. After deciding it could be done, I purchased the property and began what became a 6-month remodel, which I did almost entirely by myself. Here's a phone-cam shot of the interior during the remodel.


And here is a picture of the exterior before the final paint job.



By adding a wall, I now have a small lobby and office within my building. And I have restored the exterior to the same style wood siding that originally appeard on the building. You can just barely see my building in this photo of Broadway ca. 1920.



612 South Broadway is no longer the ugliest storefront in downtown Greenville. And I have my own efficient law office.
