Born and raised in the East Valley area of Phoenix, Arizona, I attended Mount Carmel Elementary School and Seton Catholic High School before moving to Denver to attend Regis University.  At Regis, I earned Bachelor’s Degrees in Business Administration and Computer Science.  

Following undergrad, I went to New England School of Law in Boston, Massachusetts. Fulfilling my personal commitment to serve in the military, I was commissioned in the United States Air Force and served as a Judge Advocate for four and a half years, including a tour of duty in Baghdad, Iraq, working detainee operations. 

 While in the Air Force I worked with over 1300 clients on various legal issues and drafted over 700 comprehensive estate plans.  

After traveling during my years in the Air Force, my wife Allison and I decided we wanted to settle somewhere permanently to raise our two children. We chose to come back to the Phoenix area to be near family and friends, for the beautiful weather, and to put down roots and be part of a community.

I am now a member of both the Arizona and Massachusetts state bars and run my own practice focusing on estate planning and end-of-life issues.
