Expand all | Collapse all

I am a long-time resident of the City of Henderson since moving to Nevada after serving in the

Marine Corps. I attended UNLV for law school and MBA school and have been a licensed attorney since 2009. I hold an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubble, among other esteemed recognitions. Being a lawyer is not my first career, as I previously worked extensively in the construction industry in both Utah and Nevada before ultimately deciding to attend law school and become a lawyer. I know what it means to serve, I know what it means to labor long hours, and I ask

for your support to help me continue serving our community as a justice of the peace.
I view the justice courts as being a service centric position. People do not appear before a judge for the judge’s sake, the judge appears before

the people to address them and their needs. I hope this insight into how I operate and view the

role, and intend to operate going forward, helps secure your vote.
