For over 12 years, I have had the honor of serving as a part-time judge in the Warren County Court, and I have established a conservative judicial philosophy. I have extensive experience as a prosecutor, private practitioner, and Military Judge.
My main goal is to ensure the public has confidence in the legal system, without bias or prejudice. Another goal is to collaborate with my judicial colleagues, support staff, and elected officials to bring awareness to and advocate for technological changes that improve the efficiency of justice and recordkeeping security. Another goal is to promote and maintain specialized dockets; my experience shows these innovative programs work, and I will continue to promote them as rehabilitative tools.
