I am a native of Pocatello, Idaho. I am an Iraq War veteran who served with HHB 1/148th Field Artillery Battalion of the Idaho National Guard. After a tour in Iraq, I pursued my college education at Idaho State University and later transferred to Weber State where I graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in political science.

I attended law school at Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota and graduated cum laude in 2013. 

While in law school, I worked as a certified student attorney for the Ramsey County Attorney's Office. Working in the child support enforcement division, I handled over 500 child support establishment, paternity, and divorce hearings. After graduating law school and returning to Pocatello, I clerked for the Honorable David C. Nye in the Sixth Judicial District.

My practice includes the areas of insurance defense, business law, contracts, personal injury litigation, estate planning, and property law. He is a trained Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and provides free legal representation to CASA volunteers that advocate for abused and neglected children.
