I am an attorney in private practice with an extensive background in commercial real estate who has lived and worked in Thurston County for nearly three decades.  I have raised a family, built a business and am deeply appreciative for the community we share. 

When it comes to addiction in our society, we have relied heavily on others to take on the heavy lifting of finding solutions, but permanent solutions to our largest problems are not often found in a vacuum.  Therapeutic Courts involve counselors, attorneys, judges, and sober living houses specifically trained to address a myriad of physical and mental health issues that surround addiction, and Strophy Foundation is part of that supportive village that surrounds Therapeutic Court participants. I became a member of the Strophy Foundation Board of Directors because I believe in our diverse volunteer group of people from all walks of life working together to support Strophy Foundation’s purpose of being a focused part of the solution. Strophy Foundation Board Members unite as individuals into one whole with the goal of supporting the efforts to help others make meaningful change in their lives.
