Welcome to my website. My goals are to generate more interest in criminal justice reform, share a bit about myself and my interests, and post about my recent writings.

I’m an attorney and faculty member in the Criminal Justice & Sociology Department at the University of Wyoming. I began my career as a public defender and prosecutor in Carbon County, Wyoming, before working at the Wyoming Attorney General’s office, engaging in appellate prosecution in state and federal courts, in addition to serving as the legal representative for the Wyoming Department of Corrections. I then spent ten years as the Deputy and Executive Director of the Wyoming Board of Parole. I served on the Correctional Industry Advisory Board (CIAB), having been appointed to the CIAB by the Governor in 2014.

I’m a member of the Association of Paroling Authorities International (APAI), having served as Secretary for two terms and contributing articles to the APAI newsletter. I have also authored several law review articles on parole, restitution repayment, and inmate reentry.

Currently, I’m the Secretary of Board for the Comea Homeless Shelter in Cheyenne, Wyoming. When I’m not volunteering or teaching, you can usually find me on a bike or running throughout Laramie. I’m a triathlete, having competed in two Iron Man races, the most recent in 2022 in Arizona.

I’m a proud Wyomingite. I love fishing and rafting and exploring the beauty of Wyoming with wife, my two sons, and my three step-children.

My goal is to post as often as possible, but as you can imagine, I will have to squeeze it into an extremely full and fulfilling schedule.
