I grew up in Idaho but fell in love with the water, mountains, and trees of the Pacific Northwest during a legal internship in Tacoma. My wife and I moved here in 2017, and we have never looked back. I am a father to a young daughter who believes she owns the house and to a son who believes he owns his sister. I watches all sports with a ball and have even wandered into the realm of gymnastics due to my wife’s passion. On the weekends you can find me hiking rain, snow, or shine and cheering on local sports.

mild-mannered
What can I say about the “mild-mannered super-man attorney” Blake Harris? His calmness kept me calm because of a serious wrongful accusation against me.
