About
Rose Elder Law

I was fortunate enough to be raised in Oakridge during the 1980s when every day was spent hiking the mountain in my back yard, exploring for treasure, building forts, and riding my bicycle up Salmon Creek river for a cool dip on a hot summer day. The late 1980s brought financial hardship to our family when the Spotted owl demanded that we stop chopping down the beautiful old-growth forests. The Federal Government curtailed the timber industry and my father lost his job. As a result, our family lost our home to foreclosure. I grew up being very close to all of my grandparents and many of my great-grandparents. I am now a husband and father of three amazing children. Family is the most important part of my life. I want my clients to feel that they are a part of my family. Becoming an Elder Law Attorney seemed to be a natural fit for me.

I attended Brigham Young University receiving a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in 2010. Afterward I attended Willamette University College of Law where I graduated with a Juris Doctor degree. Upon passing the Oregon state bar I went to work with an Elder Law firm in Salem, Oregon before opening Rose Elder Law LLC.
