Micah joined the recruiting profession more than ten years ago with prior experience in both public relations and in private law practice. After beginning his career with a large New York-based public relations firm in Houston, Micah became an attorney in 2001. He practiced as a commercial litigator in both Dallas and Houston until 2008. Micah has recruited attorneys for both law firms and Fortune 500 companies, as well as smaller companies. He has experience working with associates, partners, and in-house attorneys at all levels.
As a native Houstonian, Micah has emphasized the energy industry on many of his searches. In that regard, he has worked with major energy and energy services companies on in-house legal searches ranging from General Counsel to staff attorneys. In fact, the energy industry has been part of his life for as long as he can remember, as his father was an attorney with ExxonMobil for over 30 years. Micah’s wife works in the energy business as well. So, the energy industry is completely intertwined with his life experience — both past and present. Because of these personal ties, Micah especially enjoys working with energy companies to add legal talent in an ever-changing global marketplace.
Micah obtained his J.D. from Southern Methodist University in 2001, where he served as Articles Editor on the Computer Law Review & Technology Journal. Prior to law school, Micah earned his Bachelor’s degree in Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations from the University of Texas at Austin.
Micah lives in Houston with his wife and three daughters. He enjoys football, soccer and spending time with his family and his boxer, Rex.
