The WaLaw Team

I was born and raised in Oklahoma and started my first business at the age of 10 diving for golf balls in ponds on a public course. We sold ’em for a quarter a piece and made good money doing it.

I came to Seattle in 1992 to attend the University of Washington and graduated four years later with a B.A. in Economics and a healthy appreciation of all things Seattle: grunge, flannel, coffee, and microbrews. My first job out of college was selling beer for one of Seattle’s fine microbreweries. It was a dream job for a 22-year-old guy: expense account, tickets to every sporting event, and all the beer my friends and I could drink.  That job led to a promotion in Texas and ultimately a career in sales, land/home development, and mortgage lending.

Ultimately, I was looking for something different and returned to Seattle to obtain my law degree.  I graduated with honors from Seattle University School of Law in 2006.  I joined a small law firm shortly after graduation and became a partner in January 2009. We founded WaLaw Realty that same year and I’ve handled hundreds of residential transactions, drafted countless legal documents affecting real estate, litigated real estate disputes and had a blast along the way.

As native Seattleite, I enjoy all things Pacific Northwest. Camping in the rain, the Nordstrom half-yearly sale, and of course…our real estate. I have spent the past sixteen years involved in the local markets, including 2 pre-bubble years in residential and 5 recovery years in commercial real estate. Actively involved in my little Ballard community, I never lost my passion for watching our communities grow, evolve and revitalize through business and real estate.

After spending an hour a day searching new listings and keeping track of sales, I realized that WaLaw Realty is where I belong. As a real estate professional, homeowner, renter and landlord, I can relate to all phases of your transaction. Combining my knowledge of Seattle, love of real estate, and analytical brain for the legal aspects, I am thrilled to be here at WaLaw Realty and eager to help you!
