*After graduating from law school, Rachel started her career in the non-profit sector. Serving multiple domestic and international ministries, Rachel sought justice against sex traffickers, child sexual abuse material, and both sexual misconduct and abuse of power in local church settings. She also advised senior church leadership on governance, policy, and crisis communications.

When he's not representing clients, you'll likely find him staying active—whether that's exercising, playing soccer, snowboarding, or tackling an ambitious home improvement project that's probably bigger than it should be.

His favorite title is "Dad" to his three children. In his downtime, he enjoys cheering on the Longhorns and Austin FC.

"Seek the truth; come whence it may, cost what it will."
