I am an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. I have been fortunate to have many returning clients over several years in different practice areas due to my compassion and listening to the needs of my clients. I spent four years as a public defender in Spokane after graduating law school and gained tremedous trial experience. I then continued litigation and trials as privately retained counsel in criminal defense, traffic offenses, and civil litigation. I increased my practice areas to estate planning, probate, and family law. I spent eight years as a JAG officer in the Air Force Reserve, retiring in 2012.

Currently, I am accepting new clients for guardianships, trust administration, probate, and estate planning in Oregon and Washington. 

My extended family resides in the Portland/Vancouver area.  I enjoy reading, hiking, and watching my children in numerous sports.
