I was born and raised on the shores of Lake Erie in Port Clinton, Ohio, but have been a Central Ohio resident for almost two decades. After graduating from Ohio State in 2008 and spending wonderful post-college years in Italian Village, German Village, Downtown, and the Short North, my spouse and I recently put down roots in Grandview Heights, where we live with our twin daughters (Maya and Avani (Of-nee), age 6), son (Siddhartha (Sid), age 2), and dog (Perry, age 7). Each neighborhood along the way has taught me that our city’s story matters, and that it is worth fighting for. After college I worked in Democratic campaign politics and then attended law school at Ohio State’s Moritz College of Law. For the past six years I have practiced commercial real estate law, and have spent the four most recent years at the national law firm Dinsmore & Shohl. I am honored to serve as the chair of my office’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee, as well as the co-chair of Ohio Promote The Vote, which is a volunteer group of Democratic lawyers interested in voting rights. When we aren’t at work, my spouse and I are having a ball raising our kids together. Our favorite activities include family walks and bike rides, weekend trips to Grandview’s Pierce Field, the Columbus Museum of Art, and the Franklin Park Conservatory, and pointing out LeVeque Tower whenever it’s in sight.
