I was born and raised in the Kitchener-Waterloo area. I attended school here, I met my wife in KW, we bought our first home in KW, and in September of 2017, we welcomed our first child!

I attended McMaster University and graduated with a B.A. in Economics in 2008. From there, I went to Oklahoma City University School of Law, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I passed the Texas Bar Examination in 2011, and returned to Canada shortly after. After completing my accreditation and articling segment in Ontario, I was called to the Ontario Bar in 2014. I have been a member of the Law Society of Ontario (formerly Law Society of Upper Canada) since then.
