I was born and raised in Southeast Portland. After graduating high school I joined the US Army where I served as a Military Police Officer and Drill Sergeant for 8 years. I was deployed overseas numerous times for both combat and non-combat missions then I returned home where I completed my college degree and attended Law School.
While I finished my undergraduate degree, I decided to start my own business providing trial support services as a consultant and technical expert. Through that business, I was provided a great opportunity to work with some of the very best trial attorneys in Oregon. Watching and supporting these amazing litigators, I knew this was the career meant for me.
While finishing up school, I met and married my amazing wife Annie. We are the proud parents of three young boys, Brady, Patrick and Lucas. When I find a little time between my family, my law practice and other business ventures, I enjoy staying active in the outdoors, especially on the golf course. I will never leave this place I call home and hope to continue to be a Trial Attorney as long as the Oregon Courts will have me.
