Prior to attending law school I worked in politics and as a military officer. Recently, I was given the privileges of commanding one of the Washington Army National Guard units in Baghdad, Iraq where I was awarded the Bronze Star Medal. I was also inducted into the 1st Cavalry Division’s Order of the Combat Spur. I am currently a Major in the Washington Army National Guard and a member of American Legion Post #167 (Lifetime member). I am also a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and AMVETs Post #1 in Tacoma. I’m a member of the Elks, Eagles, Pythian Knights and other civic/fraternal organizations. I attend church at St. James Cathedral in Seattle.

I have represented clients before the Washington State Supreme Court, the Washington Court of Appeals, The State Superior Court, Various County District Courts and Municipal Courts. I am also admitted to practice before the United States District Court For The Western District of Washington.
