Gonzalo is an avid birder who is always looking to add new species to his life list. During his free time, he enjoys cooking and coming up with new recipes, and whittling wooden birds (which he then gifts to unsuspecting strangers).
Gonzalo is admitted to practice in California and the District of Columbia, and before the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois and the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the D.C., Second, and Ninth Circuits.
