Bio: I am a husband, a father, and a lawyer and I have brain cancer.  Cancer can’t kill me.  I was a police officer and firefighter for several years until seizures presented too many problems for that hazardous line of work and practice law full-time.  I learned I had an oligodendroglioma in late 2004 and that it had mutated to a GBM in late 2007.
