I am a business law attorney who also acts as general counsel for several local Bakersfield, CA businesses.

I was born and raised in the northern California city of Grass Valley.  In 2008, I received a bachelor's degree in Philosophy from California State University Bakersfield, where I also earned All-American honors for wrestling.  In 2011, I received a Juris Doctor from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, where I also earned concentrations in Business Law and Tax Law as well as the Witkin's award in Insurance Law.  Based on my achievements in Law School, I became a member of the Traynor Honor Society, named in honor of the late Honorable Roger J. Traynor, former Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court.

When I am not busy at work or volunteering in the community, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two boys. 

I am a member of the Kern County Bar Association.
