Soap Lake Lawyers

I grew up in Montana working in my family's construction company, and moved to Spokane to attend Gonzaga University. I loved the area and I'm glad to call the Inland Northwest my home together with my wife and four children. When I'm not in court or helping clients, I'm usually riding motorcycles or playing soccer with my kids. I love being a lawyer, and little makes me happier than the chance to help a client set things right after they have been taken advantage of or injured by someone who refuses to take responsibility.

Born and raised in Moses Lake, WA Grant County.
Attended BYU Provo and graduated Dec 1988
Played college football at BYU from '84-'86
Attended and Graduated Gonzaga University Law School May 1992

Before law school, I was going to be a Professor of Spanish Literature because I love books and learning about people and cultures. But a few things came up along my way into academia—kids. My oldest are twins and were born just before I finished as an undergraduate at BYU. My third was born when I was finishing up graduate school at Stanford. Number four came along part way through law school. I love being a father and I discovered that people are far more interesting than books. Being an attorney empowers me to help resolve problems.
