Our tech-focused advisors help founders and funders alike navigate legal complexities with a commercial-first mindset.
I help companies with everything from incorporation to exit, including day-to-day matters, fundraising, and the difficult scenarios that require trusted advisors. My focus is on providing practical and risk-adjusted solutions, often to issues of first impression. I have broad experience across the startup ecosystem with companies and investors, and my practice primarily focuses on FinTech and blockchain companies.

I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas and enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at the age of 21. Stationed in Anchorage, Alaska and working as a C-17 crew chief at night, I completed my undergraduate degree by going to school full time during the day and during each summer. After graduating from The University of Texas School of Law, where I participated in Texas Venture Labs and worked part-time as a fund formation law clerk, I began working with startups and venture capital firms on early stage corporate transactions. My practice focuses on early stage companies and VCs in Texas, the Bay Area, LatAm and beyond.
