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.

I spent my formative years here in the Northwest in a little town called Bigfork, located on Flathead Lake in Montana. It was during those years that I grew to love the mountains and all that this part of the country has to offer. There was rarely a time in my life that I did not dream of coming back to the Northwest. As fate would have it, in 2006 I was able to come back and start practicing law in the area. I live just outside Colville, with my wife and two children, on a piece of property close...
