He earned his B.S. in Chemical Engineering and his M.S. in Safety Engineering from Texas A&M University before earning his J.D. from South Texas College of Law in 2013, where he served on the Law Review.

In May 2026, he was part of the trial team that won a $1,407,500 jury verdict for a young man injured in a commercial bus crash (Carvajal v. Tornado Bus Company, Harris County) after the defendant had never made a settlement offer.
