I was born and raised in Southern California and moved to the D.C. Metro area shortly after graduating from the University of Michigan Law School in 2002.  I have lived in northern Virginia since 2005 and currently reside in Alexandria with my wife and two children.

I am currently admitted to practice in Virginia, Maryland and D.C. as well as the U.S. Federal District Courts and Bankruptcy Courts in Virginia, Maryland and D.C., the U.S. Tax Court, and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

I have experience in a wide range of areas including civil litigation and appeals, real estate, contracts (including leases and government contract issues), admiralty, collections, wills and estates.
