I was born in California, but moved to Utah at a young age. After seeing the world, my wife and I brought our family to Bakersfield to settle down. What a great decision that was. In the five years we have lived in Bakersfield, we have made countless friends and grown to love the community. Representing debtors in bankruptcy over the last five years at KDG has only enriched my life here.
I have helped to save local businesses and farms from going out of business through dedication and smart legal strategies. I have a great sense of pride when I drive by a client’s business and the doors are open, in part, because of the results the KDG team was able to achieve. Those businesses help make the Central Valley a great place to live and work, and I love that I can help maintain and improve the quality of life in our community.
