My Approach

With shifting policies impacting our current legislative arena, it is a dynamic and transformative time to be working in the regulatory field. I counsel clients across a wide variety of industries as they  navigate these changes, from developing more resilient power grids, to ensuring and maintaining environmental compliance, to responding to a multitude of government investigative inquiries,  demands, and enforcement actions. If it’s regulatory in nature or there is a governmental agency involved, I’m here to help. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ve long been a nerd when it comes to regulatory law, and love diving into timely and topical discussions and keeping up on the latest in the practice.

In my practice, I help my clients understand complex regulatory processes and navigate any resulting action items. I represent clients in all manner of proceedings, including contested case hearings before the Office of Administrative Hearings, arbitrations, and actions in state courts. Working with my clients, I value being able to quickly break down any challenge they are facing into manageable pieces, triaging levels of urgency, and properly allocating time and resources.

Outside of work, I have always been inclined to the outdoors and I do a lot of rock climbing, hiking, and camping. I also have a trade degree in boat building, and still enjoy spending my free time woodworking.
