Sharon graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969. At the same time, she received a Direct Commission as a Second Lieutenant in the US Army. In 1974, the Army picked her out of several thousand applicants to be paid to go to law school on active duty. She selected the University of Florida and did exceedingly well rising to become Editor in Chief of the University of Florida Law Review during her last year. After law school, and admission to the State Bar of Georgia, the Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps provided a lot of variety in both jobs and locations. Sharon enjoyed it until she happily retired in 1988 as a Lieutenant Colonel.
After “retirement,” Sharon returned to the Seattle area where she had put down roots while serving at Ft Lewis, WA. She became a member of the Washington State Bar in 1989 and slowly started building her private practice in the fields of Real Estate, Wills, Trusts, Probate and Elder Law in beautiful downtown West Seattle.
Sharon is now a confirmed North Westerner and has, she says, developed “webbed feet.” She loves to kayak in Puget Sound off the shores of West Seattle. She tackled a life long fear of water by learning to swim at age 58. She has completed several "sprint" triathlons, thanking God each time she finishes the open water swim leg!
Sharon has become convinced that anything is possible if you are willing to work at it. Learning to swim and climbing both Mt Rainier and Mt Baker in Washington, and Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa have proved the truth of the saying that “one can achieve any goal, one step at a time.” That is how she has built her law practice, providing excellent legal service to each client, one step at a time.
