What non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?
As an assistant prosecutor for 6 years I gained experience as a trial attorney in nearly 100 jury trials and probably over a thousand bench trials. This experience with procedural and evidentiary rules has been invaluable as a trial judge in Common Pleas Court.
Question 3
Why are you running for this particular court seat?
I have held this seat for the past twelve years and this will be my last term due to mandatory retirement because of my age at the end of this term. I would like to continue the work I have done for the past twelve years.
