Born and raised in Alaska, I spent a year as a Rotary Exchange student in Spain before setting off to college. After completing my undergraduate degree I headed to the Pacific Northwest for lawschool then to Florida where I obtained my Masters in Tax Law. The lure of the Pacific Northwest called me back and I've been here ever since.
When not practicing law or teaching at Gonzaga University School of Law I can be found coaching youth soccer and training for long distance triathlons.
