I grew up in a small town in rural New Mexico. I attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Psychology. I then moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend law school at the University of Tulsa College of Law.

I have a wife and four children. When I'm not battling at work to protect the rights and dignities of clients, I enjoy being at home with them.  My hobbies and interests include raising backyard chickens, gardening and doing home improvement projects.

Having been preparing bankruptcy cases for the last 5 years, I have filed more than five hundred Chapter 7 cases to date.  I enjoy the practice of bankruptcy because it allows me to truly help people at the time of their greatest financial need. My bankruptcy practice focuses on individual consumers with personal debt as well as small businesses needing to liquidate.

I also have a robust Social Security Disability practice where I have represented clients in close to one hundred Social Security hearings since I began practicing Social Security law. I have helped Social Security claimants get benefits who have both physical and mental disabilities. I enjoy this practice because it allows me to help those whose circumstances have rendered them unable to work. I'm an advocate for those who have spent their whole working lives paying into an insurance system (our Social Security Disability system) that has now denied them the benefit of that insurance at the time of their greatest need.

I also work with Personal Injury clients that have been injured, due to no fault of their own, and help them get the treatment and compensation they need and deserve.
