Member Mark Stageberg, a retired trial lawyer, is back to tell a few more war stories, (hopefully not duplicates of his three prior Ham & Eggs Club talks). In his career, Mark tried over 175 jury trials to a verdict, about half for the Defense side and half for the Plaintiff side. He recorded seven wrongful death and injury verdicts for clients in excess of a million dollars. He has authored two books, one called "The Joy of Hunting" and a 400 page memoir of his trial career called "Win Some, Lose Some, The Trials and Tribulations in the Career of a Trial Lawyer."

One of H&E's champion speaker recruiters, Dave Anderson, has reversed roles and recruited himself to speak to us today. (He had to twist his own arm, but he's a good arm-twister.) Dave describes himself as a business attorney, a political activist, and a jazz pianist. In itself, that description documents Dave's commitment to honing both his left- and right-brain skills. Dave will be speaking on, "My Quest for Pursuit of the Tao de KaChing."
