I began my arbitration training in 2007. Over the course of the last nine years, I have served, or I am currently serving as an arbitrator in more than fifty arbitrations. I am on the Energy Panel for the AAA as well as the newly created Appellate Arbitration Panel. I also serve on the Commercial and Large Case Panels. The matters where I have served have been both with associations and self-administered, and I have worked in domestic and international arbitrations under JWA, AAA, ICC, CPR, ICDR, UNCITRAL, IBA, and CIArb, the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, rules. I have also served as a FINRA arbitrator.

In 2015, I was honored to be elected to the Hall of Fame for Chief Justices of State Courts of Appeal by the National Center for State Courts in Williamsburg, Virginia. My varied practice before taking the bench, my experience on the bench, and my experience upon returning to the practice of law, most of which have involved energy issues, uniquely qualifies me to serve as an arbitrator. Additionally, I have a unique qualification of having served on panels of three deciding disputes for over twenty years.

Working for the federal District Courts of Texas, I have successfully mediated cases as diverse as trade mark infringement, theft of business secrets and opportunities, product defects, personal injury, minority shareholder actions, and medical insurance coverage claims.
