My ancestors fled to the United States during the American Civil War from Province Poznan, Prussia and moved to Nevada shortly after. They had to have left horrible conditions in order to enter a country in the throes of a bloody civil war. Nevada's state motto is "Battle Born" because it was made a state by President Lincoln in order for him to have enough senatorial votes to start the Civil War and dictate war policy.


My family settled in Nevada's North-Eastern part, in Elko County, but my father eventually moved South in the late 1960s, and lived in Henderson and Las Vegas. He married my mother whom he met when she toured the United States from her home country of Switzerland. As a result, I am a sixth generation Nevadan on my father's side and have countless generations of Swiss in me.


Nevada is a great state, much of which would be uninhabitable if it were not for hardy people settling here and eking out a living. Also, intelligent folk with foresight ensured law would govern the desert so that a civilization could sprout. Out of desert, three million people have found comfort in Nevada, two million of which reside in Clark County, near Boulder Dam, one of the great marvels and testaments to human ingenuity and will.


When I was born in the 1970s, there were roughly two-hundred thousand citizens of Clark County, that has increased ten fold since then. I grew up with the city and have witnessed the good and the bad that people and towns must endure in order to engender wisdom. I graduated from all of my schooling, 20 years, in Nevada and am often reminded that I am a part of a small number of life-long residents, however I think this is changing as people move here to stay.


I love helping people and it upsets me when I cannot. Knowing and using the law to ensure people are treated justly is a calling that came to me one day when I had hiked to the top of Frenchman Mountain, overlooking Las Vegas, and realized that none of what I saw below could exist without law and order. I then applied for and was accepted into law school and studied the areas of law that I thought had the greatest impact on lives, including family law, property law, and criminal law.
