Why did you choose UB School of Law?: I was thinking about going back to school around the time my wife and I relocated to Buffalo. After investigating UB’s law program, I found a warm and welcoming community with a strong alumni network right here in my new neighborhood. UB was the perfect fit for me!
One piece of advice for accepted students: Take advantage of the recommended summer reading list and other materials the school provides so that you can hit the ground running on day one. You will feel better prepared and can build some confidence in the first few weeks of class.
One fun fact about yourself: I got to meet a US president at an event where I was playing jazz saxophone, and he said I “sounded good.” I won’t say which president because it’s fun to make people guess (although my hometown is a hint!).
