Michael Thornicroft, JD.

I have been very lucky to have had several inspirational and supportive people in my career. For a 19-year-old kid from a small, Oregon Coast town with one blinking stop light, I would meet Rock legends while a DJ at 92.3 KGON. It was my coworkers who encouraged me to continue with my formal education. As a Chief of Staff for one of Oregon's most respected state legislators, her influence would send me to law school. After serving as a Deputy District Attorney, with the help of a friend, I would become a college professor. Then a television news anchor, an Investigator for Oregon, a Principal Real Estate Broker, and with the support of my boss, I would accept a position with one of the top Banking law firms in Oregon. I owe my professional career to friends and mentors. Because of their support and interest in my success, I have been able to gain invaluable experience in many areas that all intersect perfectly, and transfer to multiple applications.
