I've been licensed in Arizona since 2002, and in California since 2012. During that time I have represented clients before the IRS and numerous state revenuers in all stages of civil controversy: audit, collection, and Tax Court. I have represented dozens of clients in court-appointed criminal appeals before the U.S Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. While in law school I clerked for the City Attorney of Anaheim (California) in the misdemeanor prosecution office, and for the City Attorney of Huntington Beach (Calfiornia) in the constitutional-issues office. In my pre-law days I taught myself programming languages and worked as a software engineer and developer a combined seven years for defense contractor Northrop Grumman (formerly TRW). I've also written a couple non-law books; they're available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. On the side I practice martial arts (particular fondness for aikido, jujitsu, and escrima) and skateboarding (goofy foot longboarder!).
