My upbringing in Oregon and an abiding connection to the land drew me to conservation and natural resources issues. Protection of the environment, landscapes, and wildlife, and providing outdoor recreational opportunities has always been a passion of mine. My first notable conservation act was when my sister and I persuaded our parents to forgo cutting a big Doug-fir in our yard that was in the path of a proposed driveway extension. This same passion caused me to change course from a promising career in criminal law to land conservation acquisition in 2001. Parlaying my 20 plus year experience as a trial attorney, water trust executive director, and land conservation acquisition agent, my law practice focusess on land conservation, real estate, and land use matters.  I represent individuals and entitites across Oregon with matters such as acquisitions, conservation easements, land-use actions, wetland mitigation banking, and general counsel legal advice.
