I'm a proud Silicon Valley native and classic startup lawyer representing clients with big ideas. I have a particular strength in counseling consumer-facing and digital media companies, especially those who touch “frontier technology,” including augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), web 3.0, and the metaverse. Like most, I've developed an intense curiosity about the next stage of artificial intelligence and its applications.I work with founders and entrepreneurs through the entire lifecycle of their companies, including formation, fundraising, and exit processes. I serve as an outside general counsel for several clients and occasionally act as investor counsel in venture capital financings. Knowing that every investment, transaction, or partnership begins with the need to build a relationship, I take a relationship-based approach to the practice of law. I work closely with my clients to balance legal risks with business needs that impact immediate decisions, as well as short-term and long-term goals.I also sit on the board of directors of the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Before law, I was a barista at Starbucks, a cast member at Disneyland, and a member of the University of Southern California Trojan Marching Band.Member of the California Bar.Specialties: Start-up formation, Early Round Venture Financing, Social and Digital Media, web 3.0, and Metaverse Infrastructure
