I am a small-town lawyer. I practice family law in my own solo law firm in a rural county in central Washington state. I help people navigate divorce and child custody issues in the most empowered way possible.

I’m an entrepreneur. I love running my own business. I’m passionate about having a rewarding and remunerative business and also, like, a life. A systems nerd, I’m always on the hunt for efficiencies that make work easier and life better.

I am a coach. I took a foray into life coaching a couple of years ago, and it changed my life. By learning to coach others, I learned how to take control of my own brain. It has made me a better lawyer, a better business person, and a better human. I love bringing the lessons of life coaching to my practice to help my clients gain resiliency through difficult experiences.

I am a partner, dog and horse mom, and farmer. When I’m not in front of my computer, you can usually find me in Carhartts and muck boots, or out on a mountain trail somewhere.

I write about the adventure of entrepreneurship, in part because I love it, and in part because I think you might love it. The legal industry is changing rapidly and it is an excellent time to be lean, nimble, and adaptable. The large law firms are struggling with this, but solo and small firms are well-positioned to benefit from this changing landscape.

Thanks for being here.
