No prior judicial experience

Question 2

What non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?

I have been an appellate prosecutor for nearly two decades.  I have developed an excellent understanding of appellate procedure, the Constitutions of both the United States and the state of Ohio and the laws derived from them.

Question 3

Why are you running for this particular court seat?

I have served the public for my entire career. Being an appellate court judge would allow me to use the experience I have gained through my career as a public servant to serve a larger part of my community by ensuring that decisions made in the lower court are consistent with the constitutions and laws of our state and country.
