Dylan brings a unique background to workers’ compensation defense, shaped by his service in the Minnesota Army National Guard as a court reporter and historian. His 2024 deployment further strengthened his attention to detail, discipline, and commitment to service. Before becoming an attorney, he worked on both sides of workers’ compensation cases as a law clerk and paralegal. Licensed in Minnesota and North Dakota, he primarily represents insurance companies, drawing on a broad perspective to produce well-rounded and thoughtful work products.
Dylan thrives in environments that encourage trial and error supported by constructive feedback, and he finds the most rewarding part of his work is using his diverse experiences to deliver solutions that are both practical and comprehensive.
Outside of his legal work, Dylan enjoys playing hockey and weightlifting in addition to cooking, reading, playing the French Horn and cantoring Mass in Latin.
