He is admitted in California, New York, and New Jersey, and has represented clients in those and other jurisdictions.

He worked for many years for a large international law firm in San Francisco and New York, where he represented several multinational corporations in commercial and product-liability litigation. He has represented developers and contractors around California in real estate matters, construction defect disputes, business litigation, and transactional matters. He has represented numerous energy, manufacturing, construction, and real estate clients in environmental and toxic tort litigation and regulatory matters, including CERCLA, RCRA, Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, and California Proposition 65 litigation in state and federal courts, and in environmental disputes before federal, state, and regional agencies. His environmental background includes work as a biological technician at the California Department of Fish and Game and at a private consulting company, and in international environmental compliance at Tegee Chemical Company in Bremen, Germany; he also served as a volunteer attorney at the U.S. EPA in Washington, D.C. His publications and presentations include “Polluting Tenants: Protecting Yourself As A Property Owner,” PME Quarterly (January 1999); an article for the Law Review, Pacific Law Journal, Volume 27 (1995); a presentation before the Gatersleben Institute of Plant Genetics and Taxonomy (June 25, 1993) on his taxonomical research; and a seminar on Mechanics’ Liens before the Building Industry Association of the Delta (November 1998). He earned his B.A. in 1990 and M.S. in 1994, both from the University of the Pacific (the graduate degree in Biological Sciences, focused on plant science), and his J.D. in 1997 from the University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, with distinction; he also attended George Washington University Law School, completing coursework toward an LL.M. in Environmental Law.
