Where I'm From
I was Born in Los Angeles California, May 15, 1977. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County with my brother and parents.  Mostly, I remember it being extremely hot.  From there, it was off to still sunny, but not quite as furnace-like, Orange County, where I attended Serrano Intermediate and El Toro High School. 

Education
I decided to leave Southern California for the precipitation of the Bay Area.  I attended University of California Berkeley from 1995 until 1999, graduating with a Double Major in Political Science and English (an undergraduate background perfectly suited for further schooling).  I then enrolled and attended law school across the Bay at the University of California Hastings.  After graduating in 2002, I decided to return to Southern California, and moved to Irvine.  

Professional Life 
I was admitted to the California bar shortly after graduation from law school, and thereafter was sworn in to the US District Court.   I have been a member of the litigation team of Allen, Flatt, Ballidis and Leslie, Inc. since November of 2002.  It was my desire to become a skilled litigant and to join a team of skilled attorneys.  I have always been interested in helping victims receive some measure of justice from those who wronged them. The majority of my time as an attorney has been spent representing individuals in personal injury claims, but I have also been called upon to participate and prevail in business and probate litigation.  

Over the years, I have been personally committed to working with clients to reach excellent resolutions on auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, partnership disputes, assault and battery, will contests, professional malpractice, bad faith (on the part of insurance companies), class action lawsuits for unpaid wages and other employee complaints, and an assortment of other cases when called upon.  

Personal Life 
I've been happily married for the past five years to my beautiful wife, Christie.  We have a son named Logan, and a daughter named Ashley.  When work or family commitments allow, I enjoy watching baseball, lifting weights, or catching a movie.
