Born in Brockville, Ontario, in 1968, I grew up in Ottawa before attending Queen’s University in Kingston. At Queen’s I earned a bachelor’s degree in history, an honours degree in English literature and my law degree.



I completed my articles in Toronto under Clayton Ruby and Marlys Edwardh at the prestigious criminal defence firm Ruby & Edwardh. There is no better education than working long hours under the best in the profession.

I brought my Ruby & Edwardh experience North with me, conducting both trials and appeals in Northwest Ontario with David Gibson & Associates. In addition to Ontario Court of Justice and Superior Court of Justice work in Kenora, I worked on the circuit courts, flying into remote First Nations communities to defend a multitude of Criminal Code, Youth Criminal Justice Act and Controlled Drugs and Substances Act offences.

In July of 2003, I returned to Kingston to set up my current practice.
