MY SCHOOLS: After graduating from Jesuit High School in 1965, I attended Tulane University School of Engineering. I received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering in 1969. I next attended Loyola University School of Law and received a Juris Doctor in 1974 with Law Review Honors.

MY PROFESSIONS:

ENGINEERING:Following Tulane, I was employed as a Departmental Mechanical Engineer at American Cyanamid Co. in Waggaman, Louisiana from June, 1969 to May, 1976. I am Certified Professional Engineer. LSBRPELS No. 13901.

LAW:I began my legal career as a sole practitioner in 1976. I was a candidate for the Louisiana House of Representatives in 1979. Following this unsuccessful sojourn into the political arena, I returned to the practice of law. In 1980, I joined the staff of the Jefferson Parish Attorney's Office and in 1989 I became Deputy Parish Attorney.

New Orleans States-Item newspaper.
