He served as an assistant Geary County Attorney in Junction City, Kansas (1990-2000), an assistant U.S. Attorney in Tucson (2000-01), an assistant Tucson City Prosecutor (2002-04), and an associate attorney in private practice with Davis|Miles, PLLC (2004-07) handling both criminal defense and family law.
