“From my first tax class, I was sold on the practice of tax law. I love getting involved in new projects, understanding the long-term goals, and structuring for the right fit.”

Outside of work, I love being active by cycling on the American River trail, swimming, and fencing with the Davis Fencing Club.

Experience

My practice spans a very wide range of complex tax issues. I’ve successfully represented the Franchise Tax Board in numerous appeals concerning the taxation of real estate transactions, and successfully negotiated many tax settlements including like-kind exchanges and partnership allocations.
