In what area of law do you practice, and why did you choose this?
I practice primarily in real property disputes and construction litigation. Growing up with a father who was a carpenter, I was always around construction projects, tools, and equipment. I feel very comfortable discussing and analyzing the subject matter of construction litigation.
Construction litigation segues perfectly into my real estate dispute and non-disclosure litigation practice. Many of these cases involved contractors performing work, albeit shoddy work on homes, or sellers not disclosing facts that directly affect the ordinary buyer’s use and enjoyment of the property.
What would you be doing if you weren’t a lawyer?
I have an unexplained passion for growing things. All things. I would likely be a farmer of some form if I weren’t a lawyer.
What is your favorite vacation spot?
Anywhere in the Boundary Waters.
What is your favorite Minnesota Lake?
Lake of the Woods
What is your favorite Twin Cities restaurant?
Bar la Grassa (BLG)
When you are not working, what would people find you doing?
Spending time with my wife and two-year-old son, Kai. I might also be spotted in full camo and sitting in a tree stand or hunting blind. I love to ice fish and all things outdoors. I also love to golf, among many other sports.
What is your favorite part of practicing law?
Every day is different from the last. The law is constantly changing, and so are the problems in our world. Lawyers have to evolve with the times and continue to learn each day.
What is your strongest asset?
My drive to get the best result possible for my clients.
