I was admitted to the Utah State Bar in 1976 and the Navajo Nation Trial Bar in 1977. My education includes: B.S., magna cum laude from Utah State University; J.D. from the University of Utah. I am also a member of the District of Columbia Bar, Navajo Nation Bar, and the American Association for Justice. I serve on the Board of Directors for the Navajo Legal Aid Services, 1994–present. I was President of the Cache Chamber of Commerce, 2005-2006. My practice areas are personal injury, municipal law, and criminal defense. Prior to returning to Utah in 1980, I worked for the U. S. House of Representatives, Appropriations Committee, and for Congressman Gunn McKay.

Statement of Candidacy

I have appreciated the opportunity of serving as a Utah State Bar Commissioner from the First Division. As a practicing attorney for over 30 years, I hope to bring to the Bar a sense of awareness for small firm practice. The Utah State Bar leadership has done an excellent job of keeping members informed and providing meaningful input to legislative initiatives. We must remain vigilant in protecting the rights of Utahns and ensuring access to the legal system from increasing attacks by special interest groups. Thank you for your support.
