After majoring in finance at Abilene Christian University, Dean Gash continued his education at Pepperdine University School of Law. As a law student, he finished first in his class and served as the editor-in-chief of the Pepperdine Law Review.
Upon graduation, he went to work for the small litigation firm of DeSimone & Tropio. The following year, he had the privilege of serving as a law clerk to the Honorable Edith H. Jones, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. He then joined the Washington, D.C., office of Kirkland & Ellis where he focused on appellate and commercial litigation. He relocated to Kirkland's Los Angeles office in 1997, where he worked until joining the faculty in 1999.
During his first year of law school, Dean Gash decided that his career goal would be to return to teach at Pepperdine where his passion for the law was ignited and his spiritual life was enriched by the faculty, administration, and community. As Associate Dean for Student Life, Dean Gash's focus is on enhancing the academic, social, and spiritual life of the law students. He teaches Torts, Evidence, and Legal Ethics.
Dean Gash is a member of the California and Washington, D.C. Bar Associations, is admitted to practice before the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
