Informal Bio:

In 2017, I opened Kalon, a law firm devoted to social good, built on a lean, efficient business model. Although I litigate at the trial and appellate levels, most of my practice is serving as a mediator or arbitrator, helping people resolve their conflicts, most of which are in suit. Before Kalon, I was a servant to traditional business models. Now I'm seeking a more fulfilling life, in line with my values, with giving back and paying it forward as guiding principles.

"I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better." Maya Angelou.
