My practice emphasizes construction advice and claim litigation and defense. I earned my B.S. degree from the University of Idaho and my J.D. degree, cum laude, from Gonzaga University School of Law. I am presently licensed to practice in the state and federal courts of Washington, Idaho and Montana. I also have extensive experience with construction industry mediations, arbitrations, and trials. Prior to becoming a lawyer, I was an infantry officer in the United States Marine Corps. I like to fly fish, ski, and sail.
