My Story

The day when my client shed tears of joy after a favorable outcome of their case, I realized the profound impact of practicing law. As an attorney, I often guide clients through their most challenging moments. Recognizing the weight of my role fuels my commitment to my clients.

I live with my wife and our three boys in Urbandale. And when I’m not coaching youth sports or spending quality time with them, I enjoy a game of golf and hitting the pavement for a run. My family and I are members of Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines.

Insights & Experiences

Honesty and hard work are the cornerstones of my practice. As a fiduciary, I prioritize my client’s best interests and deliver tough news with candor. The golden rule, treating others as I would like to be treated, guides my every decision.

Background & Expertise

Before graduating from Drake University with dual graduate degrees in law (J.D., with high honors, 2007) and business (M.B.A., 2007), I attended Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa (B.A., magna cum laude, 2004).

I have been in private legal practice since 2007, representing individuals and corporations through litigations and arbitrations. I’ve supported clients in real estate, corporate law, bankruptcy, estate planning and probate, personal injury, and civil litigation. Your interests are of utmost importance, and you deserve the opportunity to stand up for your rights. I’m here to support you in your endeavor to brighten your future.
