Biography

Estate planning with wills and trusts can allow an individual or couple to leave a legacy that can change and impact their immediate family and the rest of the world. At Believe, I focus on working closely with individuals and families as they work to identify and accomplish their goals and purposes, including after they have passed away.

My work is fully custom to each individual and family situation. I do not believe that there is a one size fits all approach to estate planning, and I enjoy working with others as they identify and pursue their own individual purposes. Estate planning is an important tool to ensure that your legacy does not die with you, but that it continues to live and influence those you care about the most for many years to come.

I fully believe that the world's best days are still ahead. By proactively working to address issues, good people can continue to shape our world in ways that will bring meaning and impact for many years to come.

I graduated first in my law school class and I have practiced in a variety of legal areas, including in litigation in courts across the country. However, I most enjoy working proactively to build good in the world, and working with and supporting those who also want to build good.
