I was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. For the past 35+ years I have assisted in the formation of countless families through all types of adoption, including independent, agency-assisted, interstate, international, co-parent, stepparent, relative, adult, and foster-adopt.

I spent 2+ years on active duty in the United States Navy and am married with three children. I really enjoy helping people create families through adoption and assisted reproduction technologies. I also enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, traveling, skiing, running, and biking.
