I joined the U.S. Army in 1983 and continued in civil services after being honorably discharged in 1987. I started working with non-profits in 1992 and as a real estate agent in 2006. This progressively service oriented career path led me to the legal field as a paralegal where I saw a real need amongst the people with the least knowledge and finances. This path culminated in 2021 as Forward Self Help, Inc.
