After obtaining a degree in Economics from Brigham Young University, I returned to my Wyoming home and earned my law degree from the University of Wyoming in 1982. I began practicing law in Casper, Wyoming that fall and spent the next 18 years working and raising my family there. My practice included work in the areas of estate planning, business organization and planning, real estate, and contracts. 

Since coming to Utah in 2000, I have invested significant time and resources into deepening my knowledge of estate planning and business organizations to enable me to better serve the planning needs of my clients. I am a past chair of the Estate Planning Section of the Utah State Bar and a Member of Elder Counsel, a national organization of estate planners who share resources and collaborate together to help clients solve planning issues.
