I was born in California and moved to the Pacific Northwest with my parents and three siblings when I was 5 and was raised in Kirkland. I graduated from Juanita High School and I went on to receive my BA from Central Washington University in political science and then received my law degree from Gonzaga Law School in Spokane Washington.

I love what I do and always have. What I do is part of who I am; it courses through my veins. I am invigorated each day in this dynamic field and truly enjoy helping my clients. 

My style is direct and upfront. And after nearly thirty years of experience and my personal style, I am honored to have earned the trust of thousands of clients and a professional reputation of results and respect.

I live in the Snoqualmie Valley area with my wife and together we share four great kids and two dogs.
