I’m an attorney with a lifelong interest in public service and a career rooted in advocating for people when they need it most. I’m originally from Troy, Michigan, where I grew up playing football, lacrosse, and wrestling—sports that shaped my work ethic, discipline, and competitiveness.
Early on, I considered becoming a police officer or joining the Army, but as a young adult I became deeply interested in political science and government. That interest quickly turned into a clear goal: building a legal career focused on helping others. I moved to Long Beach, California, and after overcoming some early adversity, earned my Political Science degree from California State University, Long Beach. I then attended Southwestern Law School, where I spent three formative years learning from outstanding professors and strengthening the practical skills needed to represent real people with real problems.
I passed the California Bar Exam on my first attempt and have worked in personal injury for years—starting as an intern early in my career and continuing through law school and beyond. Today, I bring that same drive and focus to every case, working to deliver results while keeping clients informed, respected, and supported throughout the process.
Outside of work, I’m a lifelong sports fan and I value time with my friends and family. Above all, I try to approach my practice the same way I approach life: with consistency, accountability, and a straightforward, down-to-earth style.
