I have always felt that my experience in working my way through school
and other life experiences have helped me to be flexible and creative in
my approach to life, business and the law. In addition, my actual legal
work experience spans more than ten years and encompasses a wide
variety of legal areas.
I moved to Sonoma just before starting High School and love the area. I
worked my way through Santa Rosa Junior College, where I graduated
with honors, and Sonoma State University, where I graduated cum
laude. I finally left the area, but not very far, to attend the University of
Pacific McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. I graduated and joined
the State Bar of California in 2001. I finally moved back to Sonoma after
working in the Sacramento area for several years.
