Born and raised in Alaska, I spent a year as a Rotary Exchange student in Spain before setting off to college. After completing my undergraduate degree I headed to the Pacific Northwest for lawschool then to Florida where I obtained my Masters in Tax Law. The lure of the Pacific Northwest called me back and I've been here ever since..

I am a native of the Northwest, having lived in Bremerton, Boise, Moscow and Spokane while growing up. My family moved to Spokane when I was in high school, and I consider Spokane my hometown.  I also spent a number of years in Seattle, both at University of Washington for undergrad and law school, and working in a downtown Seattle law firm.. My law practice is geared toward helping individuals, families and businesses with all aspects of the assets they own. This involves areas of law including real estate, business law, and wills, trusts and estates. I help with purchase and sale transactions, lending, borrowing, leasing/renting, and eventually disposing of assets through wills and trusts. Our clients include homeowners, real estate developers, commercial landlords and tenants, residential landlords, construction contractors, owners associations, and many others.. My skills as a lawyer have been enhanced by my ventures in other businesses.  I spent about 9 years serving as in-house counsel for my family's real estate development and property management company, adding to my experience in a wide range of real estate and business law areas.  I have also been co-owner of a business that owns several restaurants and a brewery.  I have gained first-hand experience with business matters such as insurance coverage issues, insurance claims handling and employer/employee issues.

I practice in the areas of real estate and related financing, business, health care, securities and franchise.. When I'm not working, I'm outside cycling, running, backpacking, mountain climbing, or skiing.
