Prior to joining Decker Vonau, Garrison was a prosecutor with the City of Columbus and City of Hilliard for 4 years.

Garrison credits his ability to form amazing relationships with his clients as the reason he has had success in his career.

When Garrison is not in the courtroom, he enjoys spending time with his wonderful fiancée, Heidy. He enjoys his time working on his home in Westerville, watching his favorite soccer team Arsenal, and faithfully cheering his Buckeyes on to victory.
