I graduated college from DePaul University (Chicago, Illinois) with a Bachelor of Science in Commerce and began my career in public accounting (1977). In 1981, I began my pursuit of a law degree, which I received from Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College (Portland, Oregon). I have been a member of the Oregon State Bar since 1984.
After graduation, I served in senior management positions in private industry for ten years where I utilized my legal, tax and accounting training. I developed close working relationships with local banks while securing financing for business expansion and real estate development. I implemented accounting and management information systems, was responsible for risk management and employee benefit programs, developed customer contracts and coordinated tax and estate planning for company owners and executives.

I've previously served as an Adjunct Professor at
the Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College. I also serve
