I have been a practicing defense attorney since, as well as an active participant in my community and profession. I am now Chairman of the Board of the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel, am the immediate Past President, and have won numerous awards during my involvement in that group. I also served in all of the Officer roles of Defense Counsel of Rhode Island, the SLDO for Rhode Island. I have been a DRI member since 1984. I have served on various ad hoc bar committees, including committees charged with revising the discovery rules in the Rhode Island Rules of Civil Procedure and running the US Disfa-ict Court's University Symposium Program for several years. Most recently, I was elected to the Board of Directors for Lawyers for Civil Justice. I currently serve on the Board of Roger Williams University School of Law, currently as chair of their governance conmiittee, having previously served as Secretary. I also served as on the Board of Roger Williams University for several years.
