Ted went on to earn a Masters degree in International Relations from the same university. Ted came to Portland, Oregon in 1979 and worked for three years as a insurance underwriter and claims adjuster, an experience which afforded him additional background in the field of personal injury. In 1982, Ted worked as a court clerk in Multnomah County for the Honorable Mercedes F. Deiz, while attending law school at Northwestern School of Law at Lewis and Clark College. His experiences as a clerk offered helpful insight into the workings of the state court, and the work entailed primarily family law proceedings. Ted is married and is the proud father of four boys. He and his family enjoy traveling and exploring the various neighborhoods in the Portland areas.
