I was born and raised in Irvine, California. I am the oldest of three boys. My father was a lawyer. We were always active, playing sports, going to the beach, whitewater rafting, and camping. I continued playing sports through two years of college. After graduating from the University of Arizona, I oversaw the construction and lease-up of a 300-unit apartment complex. I then attended Chapman University School of Law. During law school, I clerked in the Orange County District Attorney’s Office and with a film financier focusing on bridge financing. I started my legal career at a defense firm and became a partner at a regional commercial litigation firm before joining a top plaintiff firm in Las Vegas. I joined Panish |Shea | Ravipudi LLP and have the privilege of working with an incredibly talented team pursuing justice for individuals and families. I now have three sons of my own and love coaching their flag football and baseball teams.
