I am originally from Northern Alberta (Fort McMurray) but have called Calgary home since 2004.  I completed both my Bachelor of Commerce (with Distinction) (1998) and my Bachelor of Laws (2004) at the University of Alberta and was called to the Alberta bar in July of 2005 after completing my articles at McCarthy Tetrault LLP.

I enjoy the outdoors, particularly camping, cross-country skiing and golf; collecting and enjoying music of multiple genres; sports, particularly basketball, hockey, baseball and football, travel; and spending time with my family.
