I was born and raised in Clearfield Utah. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Utah State University in Logan, Utah where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Systems Management and a minor in International Business. While studying at USU I worked as the Director of the USU Special Olympics Team, an organization that provides year-round sports training and athletic competition in Olympic-type sports for people with intellectual disabilities.

After graduating from USU I attended law school at the University of Virginia. It was during this time I worked as the executive editor of the Virginia Tax Review, and had my first child with my wife Jamie.

Having been born and raised in Utah, after graduating from the University of Virginia, my wife and I were eager to return home. After returning I worked for a year as a clerk at the Utah State Third District Court before opening my own practice in August 2009. For five years I worked primarily with bankruptcy and estate planning cases before deciding to make the change to disability law. With this type of law, you help people with an immediate need, and you get to see the immediate results of your efforts.

When I am not busy helping our clients receive the benefits they deserve, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four children reading, skiing, mountain biking, and hiking.
