Prior Experience:

Pascal Piazza grew up in Houston, Texas surrounded by books on oil tools, history and science/engineering and nurtured by sports (especially soccer).

His halcyon days at St. Vincent de Paul, Strake Jesuit, the University of Notre Dame and the University of Houston Law School ultimately led to studies in history and archaeology, playing soccer, summer stints respectively building oil tools and revising drawings for the building of oil tools and a career as a property and contract focused attorney with a technical orientation.

He has preferred and still prefers, both by choice and necessity, to associate with smaller law firms that help people formulate business endeavors or work through their business problems. He still plays soccer well beyond any reasonable period of expected play and actively participates in the administration of adult soccer on the local and state levels.
