Growing up in a small town on the Mississippi River, I've chosen to work and raise my family in southeastern Minnesota.

Over my 15 years as an attorney, I've helped mothers escaping from domestic abuse, parents trying to adjust parenting time schedules or collect child support, people seeking to medical or other treatment for a family member who is sick, and those who want to provide for their children and grandchildren after death.

Currently, I focus on helping people plan for times when they may be unable to make decisions for themselves, and taking care of family after death.

In my spare time, I enjoy cultivating a large vegetable garden, knitting or crocheting, and reading murder mysteries.
