I’m born and raised in the Seattle area. I went to Washington State University and received a B.S. in Civil Engineering. I was then commissioned in the Navy as a Civil Engineer Corps Officer. Upon separating from the Navy, I used my GI Bill® to go to law school at the University of Utah. With my law degree, I worked as an Intellectual Property attorney for a time. I got into higher education as an advisor at the University of Utah Business School’s graduate programs. I now have the privilege of working with veterans, military, dependents, and ROTC students here at Westminster University.
