He served as president of the American Lung Association of Orange County, an affiliate of the nation's oldest voluntary health organization. He founded and served as the first president of the Orange County Chapter of the Federalist Society, a national organization of conservative lawyers, judges, and law professors committed to ensuring a judicial integrity and strict adherence to the Constitution of the United States. Don is also a past finalist for the Irvine "Citizen of the Year" award.
Don received his bachelor's degree in English from the University of California, Los Angeles. He earned a Juris Doctorate in 1987 from the University of California, Hastings College of Law, and was admitted to the California Bar in the same year.
