I represent banks, financial institutions, and commercial lenders on a variety of financing transactions. My experience includes contract review, regulatory compliance and risk management analysis, and assisting on bankruptcy proceedings and creditor-debtor negotiations. With both a law degree and an MBA, I bring a strong understanding of business operations and financial considerations to my practice, allowing me to approach transactions with a focus on practical solutions.
My Approach
Growing up watching my parents build and operate their own business gave me an early appreciation for the hard work and difficult decisions that go into making a company successful—it also sparked my interest in the legal profession. I believe effective legal counsel goes beyond detecting risks; it requires understanding a client’s business, recognizing what matters most to them, and finding practical ways to get deals done.
Whether I’m working through a complex financing structure or finding a solution to an unexpected obstacle, I approach every matter with curiosity, determination, and a positive attitude. I’m not afraid to dive into unfamiliar territory, ask questions, and collaborate with others to find a path forward. Every project presents its own unique set of challenges, and each is an opportunity to help a business grow.
Outside of work, I love being outdoors, whether I’m hiking, having dinner on a patio, or spending time on the lake with family and friends. I also enjoy traveling whenever I can and cheering on Minnesota sports teams through the highs and lows.
