I was born and raised here in Hawaii.  I grew up on the island of Lanai and finished High School here in Honolulu, at Punahou High School.  After 2 years at the University of Hawaii, I went away to college, graduating from law school at the University of Washington, in Seattle Washington.  I always wanted to come home and help the people of the State of Hawaii.  When I first returned, I was a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the City and County of Honolulu, representing innocent victims of crimes.  From helping innocent victims of crimes, it was a natural progression to doing what I do now, helping innocent victims that have been seriously injured in accidents.
