Biography

Since 2010, my legal practice has been focused on estate planning and asset protection. I've always been focused on three things: 1) Ensure my clients have good counsel and that they understand their estate plans; 2) Provide current and customized estate plans; and 3) Provide prompt and thorough service. Somethings to know about me that some people find interesting: I was in the Marine Corps Reserves for 10 years; I lived in Norway for two years; I have lived in five states: Utah, California, Hawaii, Connecticut, and Florida; and I played rugby for a college club team.
