Hi, Everyone! I teach law and business classes
full-time at Shoreline, in the business division. My
academic background includes a Juris Doctorate with a
focus in Public and Private International Law as well as
Technology Transfer (my graduate thesis and
international law journal article were on Regulatory
Schemes Effecting Technology Transfer to the People's
Republic of China). I also hold a Master of Arts degree
in International Relations and Business.
Before beginning teaching at Shoreline in the Fall of
2004 I worked in law firms in IL, NY, CA and Seattle. I
have extensive experience in the area of complex
commercial litigation, particularly, in cases involving
a wide variety of legal fields including international
anti-trust, consumer protection, telecommunications,
patent and trademark as well as environmental law,
criminal defense, administrative law, medical
malpractice, labor disputes, age discrimination,
personal injury and family law. Prior to relocating to
Seattle in 1993 I also taught Political Science
(Constitutional Law, American Government and
International Relations) at community colleges in
California.
On a personal note, I am married to an incredible
woman. She is currently in Boston getting her Masters
degree in International Relations and Theology. We
devote much of our free time to service projects such as
volunteering with orphans in Honduras, Habitat for
Humanity, Tent City and fundraising for organizations
such as Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma.
I am also an avid triathlete and bicyclist. I haven't
owned my own car for more than 8 years and am planning
to bicycle from Seattle to WA D.C. during the summer of
2007 to raise money for the American Lung Association of
WA.
Also during the summer of 2007 I will be leading a
Shoreline class to Honduras, titled "Entrepreneurship in
the Developing World." In addition to studying the
various models for entrepreneurship in Honduras we will
meet civic leaders, NGO representatives, government
officials and a variety of business owners. We also plan
to do service projects there as well.
