Education
Lackawana College/ Municipal Police Officers Training Academy, countless law enforcement and judicial law training and certifications spanning over 20 years
Current Occupation
Retired Law Enforcement Officer/ Self employed business owner
Qualifications for Office
25 years of public service as Law Enforcement Officer with decades of courtroom experience in both the executive and judicial branches of government, including extensive training, knowledge and experience with law governing our communities. I have handled thousands of dockets in Monroe County and followed up on them throughout the process. I have made thousands of personal contacts with citizens of all walks of life and have a reputation of treating everyone with dignity, respect and compassion. I am considered by my peers to have the right character, experience, knowledge and judicial temperament to be an excellent judge. I am an independent thinker, nonpartisan, and I have been endorsed by two retired Magisterial District Judges.
I will continue to be an advocate for special courts to help our veterans and members of our community who have special needs, mental health and drug addictions. I will work closely with common pleas judges and other community organizations who help create policies and procedures to assure all members of the community have access to legal counsel and other services necessary to ensure everyone who has contact with our law enforcement and judicial system is treated fairly and with dignity and respect. As a police officer, I often take extra time to fully explain the process to a person coming into contact with police and courts so they know what to expect. This is helpful in making the process less complicated and stressful for all persons involved whether it be a victim, witness or the accused. The goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for all persons involved and the rights of every citizen is protected and the law is followed. I am the only candidate with this experience.
