As an estate planning and probate attorney in Colorado, I help individuals and families plan the future so they can enjoy the present. By using various types of tools, I am able to help you live a better life today, allowing you to stop worrying about tomorrow. I can help with all of the following:
I grew up in Iowa where I attended the University of Iowa as a Business/Marketing major and also obtained a certificate in Entrepreneurship. I am a Hawkeye, through and through. After undergrad, I went to law school in Minnesota at Hamline Law, graduated, and moved out to Thornton, Colorado.
In my spare time, I like to get out into the beautiful outdoors that Colorado has to offer. I ski, snowboard, hike and love to go camping and backpacking. I also love cheering on the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. I attend the Immaculate Heart of Mary church in Northglenn and have a deep appreciation for people of all faiths.
