Current Occupation
Chief District Court Judge
I have experienced the courtroom from every side over nearly 30 years—as an Assistant District Attorney, a private attorney representing clients in a wide variety of matters, and, since my appointment by Governor Roy Cooper in 2019, as a judge. That broad experience has shaped the judge I strive to be: fair in every decision, patient in every proceeding, and humble in the responsibility of serving justice.
A District Court judge hears cases involving criminal law, child custody, child support, equitable distribution, alimony, domestic violence, contract disputes, and many other matters. In every case, the judge’s duty is to uphold the Constitution and the law, carefully consider the facts, and treat everyone who comes before the court with fairness and impartiality. Party platforms and partisan agendas have no role in the work of a District Court judge.
