I’m Mike Hamilton. I grew up in Houston, TX and live in Fort Worth. I was educated at The University of Chicago (BA – English Language and Literature, 1995) and The University of Houston Law Center (JD – 1999). My wife is a neonatalogist and smarty-pants. I’ve worked as a litigator at a big private law firm and as an in-house counsel at an information technology company. However, my real work started in 2001 when our first daughter was born. Since then my wife and I have totally wrecked our lives by adding three additional kids, but we’ve had fun doing it.

I play the following roles, in relative order of priority:

1. Dad*
2. Husband
3. Brother/Son/Friend
4. Bacon appreciator / gin aficionado
5. Wearer of Sexy Windbreaker
6. Imaginary dictator / pretend psychic
7. Postulator of uninformed opinions
8. Underachiever
9. Amateur writer of nonsense
10. Corporate lawyer
