I am a business aviation attorney with nearly 20 years of experience advising high‑net‑worth individuals, corporate flight departments, operators, and aviation companies. My work centers on complex aviation asset transactions where regulatory nuance, tax efficiency, and risk allocation are as critical as the deal economics.

 

Clients rely on me to manage transactions from early structuring through closing and beyond. I help identify issues before they become problems, coordinate across jurisdictions, and translate regulatory and technical requirements into clear, actionable guidance. Whether acquiring, selling, restructuring, leasing, or financing an aircraft, my role is to protect value, reduce uncertainty, and keep transactions moving forward.

 

My practice is grounded in three core principles: discretion, responsiveness, and integrity. I work directly with clients on every matter, providing candid advice and practical solutions tailored to their specific operational and business objectives.

​

In addition to my legal practice, I serve as President of the Mercer Island School Board, where I help guide governance and strategic decision-making for one of Washington’s highest-performing public-school systems.
