I served as Magistate Judge in Division one for 22 years and received a certificate of justiciable studies from the National Judicial College in Reno Nevada.
Listening to all the evidence provided in cases and properly applying the law and rules to each case. Giving proper consideration to rules of evidence is paramount.
Hearing cases in a timely manner. As time drags on, evidence is lost, memories become clouded or forgotten. People lose their drive to resolve cases. The public deserves to have their cases adjudicated in a timely and efficient manner.
I am an Army veteran. I served seven years aquiring the rank of Captain and earned my wings as a chinook pilot.
