I live with my wife, Anna, and three dogs near Daleville, a little place in the mountains of Virginia close to Roanoke. I spent twenty-seven years as a trial lawyer. I was a partner Woods Rogers in Roanoke and am a former President of the Virginia Bar Association. During the last five years of my practice I was a lecturer at the University of Virginia Law School. I left the law in 1992 to paint and pursue my Jungian studies.
