Attorney. Advocate. Entrepreneur
Founder and Advisor to Like Minded Entrepreneurs
After years in corporate “big law” firms, I spent nearly 20 years at Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc. (LegalShield), where I served as Chief Legal Officer and Chief of Lawyer Services. During my tenure, I established and led the company’s first legal department, managed regulatory compliance, and oversaw a proprietary network of over 40 contract law firms and 4,000 independent lawyers delivering legal services to millions of customers annually. I loved playing a key role in modernizing insurance laws and state bar regulations in numerous states, developing proprietary legal technology, and implementing key performance indicators (KPIs) .
I am passionate about Oklahoma, small businesses and education. I am an Adjunct Professor at Oklahoma City University’s Meinders School of Business, teaching Business Law and Ethics. There is little that is as rewarding as seeing entrepreneurs come to life in class!
