I’ve practiced law in Grays Harbor since graduating from Seattle University Law School in 1997. I received my bachelor’s degree in History and English from Western Washington University.
My family and I chose to live on the Harbor because it’s a lot like my home town of Juneau, Alaska, with lots of trees, fish and rain. I fill my free time in my church, local politics and an extensive family.
