I grew up in New York City, and met my wife Sue, a Pasco Native, while we were in college. We married while I was still attending law school, and then made our way to the Tri-Cities where I began practicing law. This was all in the 1970s and I have loved it here from the moment I arrived. Sue and I have raised our three sons here, and have been blessed with three wonderful daughters-in-law, as well as one very handsome grandson, Valentine. We also have a very loving dog named Blue. Sue gave 36 years to the Kennewick School District as a schoolteacher and is now enjoying retirement.
I have dedicated the last few decades to building a successful and reputable law career. Being selected as a “Super Lawyer” by Washington Law and Politics Magazine for 12 years, and one of the “Best Lawyers in America” by BEST LAWYERS attorney national rating system, and many other awards and achievements can all attest to my commitment to the field of law. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, yoga, Pilates, reading, and spending as much time as I can with my family.
