I grew up in East Tennessee in Chattanooga and went to the University of Tennessee in Chattanooga.

Then I went to law school at Sanford University in Birmingham, Alabama.

And then from there, I went to law school again at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.,

and got a master's in tax law.

I then worked at Ernst & Young in Washington, D.C., doing corporate transactional work.

They called us consultants at the time.

Eventually, I made my way back to Tennessee and had my own law firm for about 16 years.

And now I'm a partner at Thompson Burton.

We have offices in Nashville, Franklin, Huntsville, and we have an office in D.C.,

But I am the resident tax attorney at the firm.

So my daily practice is we do a lot of real estate, like very heavy real estate driven at this firm.

And so I look at all the deals.

I make sure they're tax efficient.

I try to figure out any problems in the deals themselves to save our clients money.

And there are a lot of ways to do that.

But every deal, just like every person, it's different.

It's like a fingerprint, just like our listeners.

Everybody's listening for a different reason, even though we could categorize them for one reason.

They want to be smart about money.

Well, how does that work?
