I grew up on the east coast. I worked fishing during summertime before living as a expatriot abroad. I learned Spanish and some Arabic and some Russian. In 1973 I started night law school in Minnesota. I worked as a lobbyist for the Minnesota Grocers Association. I started working as a trial lawyer after admission to the bar in Minnesota in 1978. I moved to Alaska and began practicing law in Alaska in 2014. My grandfather died earlier than destined from a melanoma which the family doctor missed. I help families with loved ones injured by doctors as well as nursing home mistakes. The office also helps people harmed by drunk drivers, reckless drivers, collisions with trudks and commercial vehicles where fatigue and commercial errors contribute to harming others. I also help seaman injured at sea.
