I was born and raised in Seattle and graduated from Roosevelt High and the University of Washington, but I chose Kitsap as the best place to raise a family and practice law.
My first job at age 14 was washing dishes at the UW. I moved up to potato peeler at Spud Fish and Chips and, while in high school, landed a job as an apprentice scenery builder at the Seattle Repertory Theater. This led to a journeyman membership in the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local #15.
Rather than being drafted, I chose to serve in the Navy and was trained as an Electrician and a Salvage Diver. Returning to my work with Local #15, I served on the Executive Board as Business Representative and President.
I decided to use my GI Bill benefits for college and law school. I graduated from the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College in 1983. After graduating, I continued my work with Local #15 as their President until my wife and children necessitated me to go into practice as a lawyer. My years with the rank and file made representing workers a natural for me. That was 1991, over 30 years ago.
I proudly maintain my journeyman status with the Local and proudly continue to represent injured workers. Helping workers navigate a twisted system while keeping their dignity is what I do best.
I will continue to stand with and for my working brothers and sisters, and I am proud to wear my jeans to work.
