A native of St. Croix, McIntosh has been practicing law in the Virgin Islands since 1993, when he served as a clerk for Judge Julio Brady. When Judge Brady ran for governor, McIntosh served as clerk for the Honorable Patricia Steele. McIntosh states that local attorney Joel Holt, and his then-partner, Judge Maria Cabret, inspired him to enter the legal profession. A high school career day landed McIntosh in Holt's office, fueling his motivation to further his education and follow in the accomplished footsteps of Holt.
     
     These days McIntosh practice is moving from a predominantly plaintiff's personal injury practice into more of a general practice as he does and increasing number of real estate and commercial transactions. Despite a demanding practice, he has maintained a solid record of public service through various roles with the VIBA for over eight years. Serving first as a member, then chair of the scholarship committee, McIntosh also served on the Board of Governors and as treasurer of the VIBA.
     
     When asked what motivated him to take the leap from these roles to becoming President, McIntosh cites his desire to see the VIBA become more active and involved in the community, and to use the organization as an opportunity for improvement in the lives of its members and the rest of the community.
     
     McIntosh's biggest contributions during his term will be with respect to public service and also motivating other members to the Bar to take an active role in the association to increase the functionality of the various committees.
     
     McIntosh states that even with many sponsored activities, the committee structure is not as active and involved as it could be. He cites the results of an organizational assessment done for the VIBA by ALPS Foundational Services, where both members and non-members were asked about their perceptions of the Bar Association and of lawyers in general.
     
     Accordingly, to McIntosh, this analysis has been extremely helpful to: 1)assess where the Bar is now, and 2) see where it needs to be and in what direction it needs to move. One of the major issues brought to light by the ALPS review is the general concern that the Bar should have a fully functional ethics and grievance committee. McIntosh believed that members of the community need to feel confident that their matters will be adequately addressed and that the process will be fully explained to them.
