As a young attorney, I built my own practice in the commercial and real estate litigation groups of a mid-sized firm in the Phoenix East Valley. After just 4 years, I was managing the firm’s booming foreclosure department. My experience includes trials in the Arizona Superior Court and US District Courts, appeals in the Arizona Court of Appeals and Arizona Supreme Court and motion practice in the US Supreme Court.

I have also developed a strong resume in advising national and international companies by improving client relations, built business into new markets and maintaining legal compliance. I have served as global sales manager and general counsel for an international manufacturing firm; vice president of legal affairs for a national construction lien company; and business development director for a premier litigation finance firm.

Outside of the office, I am an outdoorist at heart. I love Arizona’s natural wonders. Whether I am backpacking, canyoneering, kayaking or running – I just can’t get enough of it. As time and opportunity allow, I have a goal to backpack the entire 770 mile Arizona Trail in segments. I want to experience what Arizona has to offer from the Mexican border to the Utah state line.
