I graduated from Pine Bush High School in 1990. I graduated from Colgate University in 1994, cum laude, and was named the Patriot League Scholar Athlete of the Year several times. I was the East Coast Athletic Conference Diving Champion four times, and was an N.C.A.A. Division I finalist two times. I then took two years to devote to training for the 1996 Olympic Trials in springboard diving, and was a nationally ranked diver. I retired from competitive diving in 1996 and attended the Syracuse College of Law in 1996, where I graduated magna cum laude, became a published author in the Syracuse Law Review with an article that was cited by the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, and was chosen as one of the top prospective trial lawyers in the nation by the National Institute for Trial Advocacy.
