I am a seasoned attorney, having practiced law in Washington State since 1990. In 1981, I graduated from Curtis High School in University Place. As a youth, I was an active Eagle Scout. From June 1982 until December 1983, I served an LDS mission to São Paulo, Brazil. In recent years, I have served the LDS church as a Bishop. I am happily married with 4 children. My two oldest daughters are currently attending BYU Idaho and my oldest son is an Eagle Scout.
