Prior to starting a peaceful resolution practice, I litigated hundreds of cases involving parental custodial rights. I witnessed the trauma that children and parents suffered during and after litigation. I am now committed to helping families resolve conflict and minimize emotional trauma.

I am committed to ongoing education in the fields of Mediation and Collaborative Divorce. I spend hundreds of hours a year as an active participant in ongoing trainings and practice groups to ensure ongoing best practices to help find streamlined resolutions for clients and families.

I am the proud father of a daughter and the proud husband of his wife of 27 years. When not helping his clients, I enjoy time with my family, trail running, skiing, or bouldering.
