I graduated in 1993 from Creighton University School of Law with a JD, and from Brigham Young University in 1990 with a BA in International Relations. Admitted to practice before the federal courts for the Eastern District of Washington, and the State Courts of Washington. Member of the Washington State Bar Association. I have been practicing law for 23 years, helping families, individuals and business achieve success and plan for their futures. I grew up in Walla Walla, Washington, received a BA in International Relations from Brigham Young University (1990), and my J.D. from Creighton University (1993). After law school, I joined a local law firm, Leavy Schultz Davis and Fearing, and worked there for three years. I then joined Lamb-Weston, Inc. and not only filled the role of associate general counsel, but also ran sales regions in Northern California and Toronto, Canada. I worked in production, negotiated grower contracts, supplier contracts, handled employment issues, dealt with the Perishable Agricultural Commodity Act, and import/export matters. My experience with Lamb-Weston has given me insight and experience in running businesses that allows me to help clients in all aspects of their businesses and handle legal matters in a practical way. I returned to private practice in 2005 and joined with Olsen Daines in 2014 as Of Counsel. I have been married to my lovely wife Kim for 28 years. We have four terrific kids, Ty, Michael, Trey and Sydney. Kim is a citizen of New Zealand, so our children enjoy both U.S. and New Zealand citizenship, with Sydney, who was born while we lived in Canada also enjoying Canadian citizenship. When time from work and family activities allows, I enjoy golfing, reading, and working out.
