During law school, he participated in legal externships and the Criminal Defense Clinic, gaining practical experience with real-world legal matters. As an undergraduate, he balanced collegiate football with academics and regularly earned honor-roll recognition. His education and early practical training gave him a foundation in legal analysis, advocacy, discipline, and client service before he entered professional legal practice.

He later joined the Second Judicial District Attorney’s Office in New Mexico, handling a range of criminal cases while strengthening his negotiation and trial skills. This prosecutorial background exposed him to complex disputes, evidentiary issues, and high-pressure legal proceedings. He now applies that experience when helping families resolve sensitive and contested family law matters throughout New Mexico.

Today, he uses his background in criminal law to approach family disputes with confidence, preparation, and professionalism. He emphasizes listening carefully, understanding each client’s goals, and working toward amicable resolutions.
