Other things about me...

Greatest professional accomplishment:

As a partner of my former law firm, leading a team of 15 attorneys and support staff from four law offices in a seven-year high-stakes business litigation dispute that culminated in a six-week jury trial. This was the most complex team I have organized so far, and I thrived in managing workflow and ensuring excellent communication between team members. I am also very proud of having been promoted to director of Anderson Zeigler in just over a year after joining the firm, being a member of Leadership Santa Rosa, and of earning the recognition of the Super Lawyers magazine as a Rising Star in business litigation every year since 2015.

Quick Takes

Buzz word from your industry you hate the most

Billable hours. If I could afford it, I would work for free and not track my life in 6-minute increments.

Best place to work ?outside of your office

At home, on the couch or in bed. I was blessed with three sweet cats who like to keep me company when I work at home. Their presence greatly reduces stress and helps me focus.

What does your mom or dad brag most about you?

That I am a successful lawyer and a good husband.
