I completed my undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies (B.ES.) in 1990 from the University of Waterloo.  In 1994, I obtained my Law degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S.

Since 1994, I have taken up residence in Edmonton, Alberta and have restricted my practice exclusively to the area of Criminal Defence.  I appear in court on a daily basis and have defended people in many different levels of court in Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia as well as the Supreme Court of Canada.

I am a strong supporter of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and believe in the proper representation of all individuals in our justice system regardless of the allegations in question, or the social/economic background of an accused person.
