(1) List your judicial experience (courts and years):
I served as Magistrate of the Lorain Municipal Court from 2005-2016 and on the Lorain County Court of Common Pleas from 2016-present.
2) What about your non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?
I spent the majority of my legal carrier as a litigator in both civil and criminal matters, so I was very prepared to take over a courtroom.
(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?
Because I want to continue to serve Lorain County as a Common Pleas Court Judge.
