Meet Ethan:
I was born and raised in various small towns throughout Central Florida, predominantly Mount Dora. As soon as I could after graduating high school in 2012, I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and trained as an intelligence analyst—a career which lasted 10 years and took me to multiple duty stations around the world.
I separated from the Air Force in 2022 in order to pursue my law degree. Me, my now-wife, and our two dogs moved from Sacramento, CA (my final duty station), to Orlando, FL, so that I could complete my undergraduate degree at the University of Central Florida, which I graduated from in 2023 with a B.A. in Political Science.
I've been a law student at UC Irvine Law since 2023 and am entering my third and final year starting in August 2025. While at UC Irvine Law, my most notable achievement has been earning a position on the UCI Law Review as an Articles Editor, helping to select which articles the UCI Law Review features in its upcoming publications. Additionally, I interned for the Los Angeles Unified School District's Labor & Employment Services Team during my 1L summer, and am presently interning for Brown, Neri, Smith & Khan, LLP, an OC business litigation firm.
