I grew up in Everett, WA, graduating from Everett HIgh School. I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Washington in 2007.

I graduated from the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2013 with the high distinction of magna cum laude. While in law school I was a Senior Associate Editor for the Thomas M. Cooley Law Review, competed in National Moot Court Competitions, was appointed to the Student Body Association by my peers, and held a leadership position for my law school fraternity. I was on the Dean's List and Honor Roll every term that I was enrolled,  and earned the Book Award in Constitutional Law I.

After law school I first worked as a solo practitioner. I then worked on Class-Action Lawsuit Settlement Administration in Seattle. I have also interned for a federally appointed judge in Washington D.C., working exclusively on the Family Law docket, and have defended indigent persons as a Public Defender Student Attorney in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

I am now a proud member of the Genesis Law Firm family.

I am an Eagle Scout and a longtime, passionate Seahawks and Mariners fan. I enjoy tennis and the occasional round of golf.
