Enjoy most: I take great pride in figuring out the best resolution, whether in a courtroom or through a successful negotiation.

Proudest moment: The births of my two daughters; securing an acquittal for Tom Spiegel, chairman of Columbia Savings & Loan Association.

Best advice: Build a brand of quality and trust, and do everything you possibly can do to preserve that brand.

Fun fact: I am a former Division I college athlete, but I enjoy ballet and modern dance just as much as I like baseball and football.

Bucket list: To attend all four tennis Grand Slam events.
