Hailing from Barstow, California, Austin attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, and graduated cum laude, while earning a CALI Excellence for the Future Award, and receiving his Juris Doctorate at the University’s William S. Boyd School of Law.
Austin’s inspiration to become a lawyer came from the enjoyment and satisfaction he received from helping people and wanting to make their lives easier. Austin understood that most people that are seeking a lawyer are often dealing with a difficult and unfamiliar situation, and he saw becoming an attorney as an opportunity to make a positive impact, not only on his clients, but on the Southern Nevada Community, as well.
While in law school, Austin was a member of the Nevada Law Journal and the Society of Advocates, as well as a co-chair for the Frank A. Schreck Gaming Law Competition. Austin is currently a member of the Nevada Justice Association.
In his spare time, Austin enjoys watching sports, traveling, trying new restaurants and attending music festivals.
