I have lived in the Manhattan, Kansas area since 1977. My father retired from the United States Army in 1980, and I served in the United States Air Force and Kansas Air National Guard until 1988. After fulfilling my enlistment term with the Air Force I returned home to Manhattan and worked as an Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic for eleven years. After graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Business Administration I attended Washburn School of Law graduating in 2005. While attending law school I was awarded the Raymond Springer Award for service to indigent clients while working at the  Washburn Law School Clinic.

After graduating from the Washburn School of Law I worked as an Assistant Riley County Attorney.  I left the Riley County Attorney's office and opened my own office in January 2008. Since then I have provided excellent legal representation to my clients in Geary, Riley, and Pottawatomie County. My practice handles family law cases including divorce, child support, parenting time modification, and enforcement, adoption, as well and estate planning, and business law matters.
