About Me

I'm an attorney, community advocate, and former candidate for the Washington State House. My interests span effective public policy, technology, healthcare, and economic opportunity.


Professionally, I work as an in-house attorney advising some of the world’s most recognizable products, brands, and businesses. My work has spanned emerging technology and AI, privacy and data protection, advertising, consumer products, healthcare, and complex commercial matters. Earlier in my career, I served as General Counsel to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation health system. I've also worked in public defense and in reintegration, helping folks coming out of incarceration get back on their feet.


I'm a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, born and raised in rural Oklahoma. I experienced firsthand both the consequences of communities being left behind and the difference that strong public institutions can make. With support from my tribe, I became the first person in my family to attend law school.


In 2026, I ran for the Washington State House in the 45th Legislative District. I walked away from that campaign with an even deeper commitment to public service and to tackling the challenges shaping Washington’s future—from housing and affordability to education, economic growth, and the profound changes being driven by artificial intelligence.


Today, I'm staying active in civic and community life while working to bring together people from government, business, technology, and community organizations around practical solutions to public problems.


Above all, I'm a husband and father of three boys. I coaches youth sports, volunteer in my community, and believe public service is ultimately about leaving stronger institutions and greater opportunity for the generation that comes next.
