Question 1

List your judicial experience (courts and years)

1st Time Candidate

Question 2

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

My legal training at two of the best law firms in the country and my 30 years of legal experience representing clients in a wide range of legal matters make me uniquely qualified to serve as a judge on the Court of Appeals. In addition, if elected, I will bring my strong work ethic and critical thinking skills to bear in service on the court of appeals.

Question 3

Why are you running for this particular court seat?

I was born, live, and work in Hamilton County and this community has been very good to me and my family. I have tried to give back through my work with several non-profit organizations. However, now I think it is time that I do more. I hope that by bringing together my 30 years of legal experience and my demonstrated commitment to this community, I can best serve the people of Hamilton County as a judge on the First District Court of Appeals.
