About me
I am an attorney practicing in the Portland metro area at Stevens & Legal where I focus on personal injury (car accidents, bike accidents, trip and fall), employment law (discrimination, paychecks), business services (company formation, dissolution, intellectual property). Prior to this, I worked for nearly five years at Liberty Mutual, as well as some solo practitioner work focused on business services such as entity registration and formation. In law school at Willamette Law in Salem I worked for Willamette Law Online and studied a wide variety of law including torts, contracts, employment law, and intellectual property rights. I graduated from Willamette in 2009.

Hilhi graduate (1994), OSU graduate (1997), plus some graduate work at both OSU and Portland State University. I have lived in Hillsboro/Aloha area, Seattle, Sheridan, the great metropolis of Wilsonville, and then back to H-town. Member of Phi Alpha Theta, way back a member of NJHS, earned my Eagle Scout, in HS wrestled; currently enjoy napping, sports, sleeping, running, resting, and the NY Yankees. Father of Ayaka and Kayla.
