When I am not working, I spend a lot of time with my wife, four adult children and six grandchildren. I also am an avid surfer (still on a short board), a muscian (drummer), love the outdoors, am a USSF, CIF, and AYSO soccer referee. I also like to get out on a boat to go deep sea fishing with my buddies a few times a year. My wife of 36 years and I really enjoy travelling and seeing the world. After attending Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College I have really taken a different approach with connecting with my clients on a more personal level. I really care about people and want to help if I can. I enjoy what I do. I continue to strive to remain positive, and become a better person as well as a better trial lawyer.
