A criminal investigator internship at the Public Defender’s Office sparked my initial interest in law. Before this, I worked as a cook, bartender, and bouncer in restaurants and bars, in a meat factory, and even as a boxing trainer. My pre-law journey gave me ground-level experience handling the issues businesses face every day.
I was born in San Diego and lived in the South, the East Coast, and the Midwest before coming back home to Southern California and building my practice in San Clemente. I recently proposed to my fiance, Ali, at Rivi Beach in San Clemente.
Outside of building my practice, we enjoy surfing, golfing, running, and pickleball, as well as working on our fruit and vegetable garden.
At UMass Law, I wasn’t just the top graduate; I also honed my skills working for two Federal Court judges, in litigation firms, and in the community development clinic, where I helped small businesses and non profits with their legal needs.
After law school, I brought my diverse skillset to San Francisco’s thriving startup scene, focusing on tech, financial compliance, and the burgeoning crypto landcape. Now at Schneider & Branch, I leverage my unique background to advocate for individuals and businesses.
