Born on the East Coast, I moved to California when I was nine. I studied at UC Davis where I double majored in Political Science, and Communications, graduating in three years. After entering the workforce, I couldn't ignore my interest in law. I eventually started a night program at the Ventura College of Law. I was subsequently admitted to the California State Bar and have been in practice ever since.
My professional accomplishments include, but are not limited to the following: (1) successful settlement of over three hundred open cases; (2) co-founder KFT Legal Aid Clinic; (3) board member of the Ventura County Bar Association since 2020; (4) president of the Ventura County Barristers 2020; (5) treasurer of the Ventura County Barristers 2018 & 2019; (6) board member of the Ventura County Barristers since 2017; (7) member of the Ventura and Santa Barbara County bar associations.
Personal Life
After graduating from law school I went backpacking through Europe. It was there, in Rome, that I met my wife. We now live happily in Santa Barbara. In my spare time I enjoy tennis, hiking, snowboarding, kayaking, and playing musical instruments including the bass guitar and drums.
