The firm has always supported me in becoming the attorney I wanted to be, which has made me want to help raise the next generation of attorneys.
Outside the Office
Having grown up in Springfield, Illinois, Myers is a passionate Chicago and University of Illinois sports fan.
One of the happiest days of his life was spent in Cleveland at Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, when the Chicago Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in 10 innings for their first championship since 1908.
Myers also enjoys the vibrant St. Louis music scene and frequently attends concerts in all genres and at a variety of venues, from the Sheldon Concert Hall to The Pageant, Off-Broadway and the Duck Room in the basement of Blueberry Hill.
Above all, Myers enjoys spending time with his family, which includes his wife Christine, daughter Lucia, son Hugh and their two dogs, Chief and Maddie.

Community Leadership
Myers is passionate about education, particularly in underserved and underperforming communities. While his career plan was always the law, he deferred law school for two years to serve in Teach for America, where he taught middle school mathematics to children from disenfranchised communities. The experience taught Myers how to meet individuals where they are and develop a personalized plan to help them grow and move forward—just as he does with clients today.
Since completing his stint with Teach for America, Myers has served on the Board of Directors for HOME WORKS!: The Teacher Home Visit Program, as well as in the role of Alumni Buddy (CAB) and Alumni Mentor for Teach for America’s St. Louis Corps.
As part of his involvement with the St. Louis startup community, Myers also serves on the Arch Grants Global Startup Competition Committee.
