In addition to the satisfaction I derive from helping my clients through my law practice, I am a telemark skier and enjoy skiing with my 11 year old daughter in the Colorado mountains.

I have been practicing law for over sixteen years in Colorado.  My practice began with two exceptional firms in Colorado that provided me with signifcant training and experience in the areas of corporate law, securities offerings, mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, and representing emerging growth companies (start-ups).  After seven years of law firm experience, I decided to join one of my clients in house as General Counsel.  My first General Counsel experience was with a media and technology company that licensed content from motion picture studios, independent producers, and sports organizations and then licensed that content to customers for adverstising or other commercial purposes. This company also developed sophisticated technology that enabled the digital delivery of finished programming for studios and produced Platform as a Service products that enabled and managed digital archives of content.  My second General Counsel experience involved a global servicing company that provides travel serrvices, temporary housing serrvices and relocation services to multinational corporations and fortune 500 clients.. My experiences have enabled me to truly understand the operations of business and changes in businesses. Too often there is not enough focus on the client business and understanding their needs and the reasons for the needs, which can create a frustration between the lawyer and the business.  Priorities of clients can shift and it is imperative to consistently communicate with clients and understand them, so they have what they need from me to tackle the next challenge without being left on their heels.

Born in Longmont, I grew up in Grand Junction and I think my heart still resides in Western Colorado.  However, I did enjoy my college years down in Colorado Springs.  My wife and I also spent three wonderful years in Washington, DC and five years in Germany, back when I was a tax accountant.. We've been living in a new development out near Buckley AFB.  We've enjoyed the prairie and the incredible views of the Front Range from out there.  My kids attend an APS school called Quest Academy, which I would recommend to just about anybody.. Like a lot of Dads, I spend the majority of my free time coaching kids soccer, keeping up with Cub Scouts and Robotics Club.. I enjoy working with small and medium-sized business owners.  However, I have also enjoyed serving the legal needs (typically business related) of Germans, Swiss and Mexican nationals.. I try to make myself available to clients at all times while I'm awake, except Sundays.  Feel free to call me on my cell:.. <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.avvo.com/assets/badges-v2.js">
