An Attorney With An Athlete’s Drive
I credit my success as an appellate attorney to qualities gained outside my profession. As a former NCAA Division 1 swimmer, I bring the hard-charging tenacity of an avid competitor to the courtroom. Vigor, dedication, and adaptability have defined my athletic achievements and my approach to law.
My appellate perspective is grounded in decades of experience across Washington’s legal landscape, including clerking for Justice Robert F. Brachtenbach of the Washington Supreme Court and serving in roles that demanded rigorous analysis and strategic judgment. That foundation allows me to distill complicated records, identify reversible error, and craft persuasive arguments tailored to the appellate courts.
