BIOGRAPHY

After attending law school, and then spending time at Stanford as a Professor (Consulting Assistant) teaching Environmental Policy, Health Policy, Law and Medicine, and Environmental Ethics, I have devoted myself to solving the everyday problems of hundreds if not thousands of local individuals, elderly, homeless, small business people, home buyers, families, and in every area of law practice and public service.

Now I have the time and experience to devote myself to Palo Alto as a Council member.
