Get to know Dave better by reading below:

+ Where did you go to law school? University of Minnesota Law School

+Favorite legal document to draft? That’s a tough one. I would say it’s a tie between demand letters and complaints (the legal document we use to commence a lawsuit). These are where I get to first tell my clients’ stories. My clients’ reactions to having their stories powerfully told is very gratifying to me.

+What do you do for fun when outside of the office? I enjoy live music with my friends and family.

+Surprising fact about yourself? My “go-to” song for karaoke is the unplugged version of Take On Me from A-ha.

+What is your favorite thing about practicing employment law? All my clients are going through a difficult and stressful time in their lives when they first call me. I have the privilege of helping them assert some control over the situation, which can oftentimes be the first step in them moving forward in their lives with confidence.

Congratulations to FMA on their achievement!
