I grew in and aroundthe Seaside area of the Oregon coast.  While attending high school, Ispent my free time surfing, wrestling, and playing football.  I graduatedfrom Seaside High and moved on to Portland State University where I supportedmyself through school working the graveyard shift at a produce warehouse. After earning a double major in Economics and Business Administration – Accounting,I secured a job in the downtown office of KPMG and started my career as a CPAin the audit and business consulting profession. I worked in Portland forseveral years before transferring to the Honolulu office of KPMG where afternearly 5 years with KPMG I left the firm to pursue my law degree at theUniversity of Hawaii.

After law school Ireturned to Portland to obtain my Oregon State Bar license and enter intoprivate practice. I worked diligently in several firms, first as an associateand then as a partner, learning the ins and outs of legal practice from my moreexperienced colleagues before co-founding Bridge City Law with Scottin September 2010.

Outside of work, Itake pleasure in travel and outdoor activities- exploring and experiencing allthat the beautiful Northwest has to offer.  I enjoy the pursuit ofgood food and drink- whether dining out in the city or cooking up a meal athome, and always in the company of family and good friends. And above all else,I love my role as a husband and a father.

I am also active inthe community, currently serving on the board of directors for the HemophiliaFoundation of Oregon. HFO is a volunteer organization dedicated toproviding education and support to families affected by hemophilia and otherbleeding disorders.
