I have worked  as an attorney since 1994. I have represented thousands of clients and am proud that every one of my clients know they had a fighting advocate on their side. Personally, I am blessed to have been married over twenty years to my wife, Julie and we have three amazing children. I am an avid sport's fan and have volunteered countless hours coaching youth sports and administering youth sports leagues. I have served my community as an elected school board member and as a volunteer for several nonprofit groups. In addition to working as a private attorney, I have worked as a Tribal Prosecutor, Tribal Judge, and as a College Professor and Paralegal. instructor. I attempt to bring honor to my profession by conducting myself with integrity and by passionately advocating for my clients in negotiations and in the courtroom. I am proud of my professional accomplishments such as being admitted into the Million Dollar Advocates Forum but I am even more proud of my positive relationships with my clients.

I have a degree in accounting that helps me crunch numbers better than most, from U of W. I've been a die-hard Husky since the 70s, Go Dawgs!. With my wife, I rescue and re-home dogs, particularly older or injured dogs that don't have a lot of hope to escape euthanasia. We have helped chihuahuas, papillons, pit bulls, labs, corgis, bulldogs, cattle dogs, schipperkes, rottweilers, retrievers, collies, and everything in between.. I am a member of WOOFD2, a club for participants in frisbee dog sports. My dog Babe was a state champion who toured the country and even went to Canada to promote her sport.. I enjoy fishing, golfing, boating, skiing, bowling, and all sorts of other sports. I have been a member of National Ski Patrol for 5 years, and I love to ski the Summit at Snoqualmie. (Though nothing compares to Whistler Blackcomb or Big White!). In my free time (of which I have very little) I can be found reading sports and political biographies, grilling on my deck, or hanging out watching the Golf Channel.

After graduating from Gonzaga University School of Law, I practiced law in the Territory of Guam for close to seven years. After a few years practicing in a local law firm, I opened my own practice. During this time, I also met and married my husband who was in the US Navy. After Guam we relocated to Michigan where I worked as a deputy prosecuting attorney while my husband completed his medical training. After 4 years in Michigan, we received military orders to Sicily, Italy, and eventually back to the Pacific Northwest. My travels and varying work experiences have allowed me to enjoy different perspectives. I am always up for a challenge and the opportunity to assist clients to the best of my abilities.
