A fourth-generation New Mexican, Quinn was born and raised in Santa Fe, where his deep connection to the community began. After earning his undergraduate degree in Southwest Studies from Colorado College in 1996, his adventurous spirit led him to attempt an unclimbed route on a remote 25,245-foot peak in the Tibetan Himalayas. While an unexpected storm and challenging high-altitude conditions resulted in severe frostbite that cost him his fingers and feet, Quinn’s resilience and determination shone through. Undeterred by these hardships, he returned to Santa Fe and successfully ran a construction company for several years before venturing into thoroughbred racehorse training in Kentucky.
Eventually, Quinn reunited with his high school sweetheart, Veree, and returned to Santa Fe to raise their family together. Determined to pursue his passion for the law, Quinn attended the University of New Mexico School of Law, graduating in 2013 with a J.D. Today, he leads a thriving legal practice. Licensed to practice in both New Mexico State and Federal courts, Quinn emphasizes trial work and is known for his meticulous approach and unwavering commitment to achieving the best outcomes for his clients.
Outside the courtroom, Quinn’s adventurous spirit remains an integral part of his life. He enjoys spending time in the mountains and riding horses with Veree and their three children, balancing his professional pursuits with the joys of family and the outdoors.
