Raised in Texas by his mother and stepfather, a Fort Worth Detective turned General Contractor,  his love for all things construction, business and law related was piqued. Terry obtained a B.A. from the University of Texas in 1995, where he majored in History and Political Science and worked for the Texas Legislative Council. He earned his law degree from the University of Utah in 1998. After graduating from the University of Utah, Terry practiced as a trial attorney for large scale home builders in Houston, Texas. In 2003 he moved to a large firm in Denver, Colorado. There he litigated high profile construction and business cases for fortune 500 clients including 5 of the top 10 Colorado construction companies.

Terry is licensed to practice law in Colorado and Texas. The majority of his practice is focused on litigation involving complex civil, construction, business, insurance, hemp, and employment. Terry has been published in many law journals and frequently teaches seminars to Engineers and General Contractors on topics specific to engineering and construction. He is currently a member of the Colorado Bar Association (CBA). Terry  holds a soft spot for youth and has served as a Boy Scout Scoutmaster and volunteers for other youth activities. He helps organizes the annual AppleBlossom Ride and Applefest5k fundraising events in Cedaredge, Colorado.

Seeking the beauty of the Western Slope and a smaller setting in which to raise their five children, Terry and his wife settled in Delta County in 2010. Terry enjoys outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, fly-fishing, cross country skiing and watching his children’s sports. He enjoys indoor activities like carpentry and tiling and watching old movies (and football). Go Longhorns!
