After graduating from Western Alamance High School, I enlisted in the NC Army National Guard and served for 6 years. I got my undergraduate degree in Pre-Law from Campbell University in 1995, then my law degree from Campbell in 1998. I have been practicing law in North Carolina ever since.
My practice is focused on personal injury, civil litigation and criminal defense. I have an office in Alamance County and one in Southport, North Carolina. I live in Alamance County. I am married to Joni Rouse Doby, a respiratory therapist, and have one son, Dylan a UNC and Duke graduate now employed by RAIL, Inc., and two stepchildren.
I have served on several boards over the years, including the Burlington Housing Authority, Alamance County Transportation Authority, and Alamance County Planning Boards. I also serve as Treasurer for the District 17 Judicial District Bar.
My office is at 110 W. Elm Street in downtown Graham, steps from the Alamance County Historical Courthouse where civil cases are filed. When I'm not working, I fly my plane and compete in bass fishing tournaments and play in a country band.
