(1) List your judicial experience (courts and years):
Pickaway County Common Pleas Court Judge for 23+ years.
(2) What about your non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a
judge?
First elected Circleville Law Director in 1983. Served as Circleville Law
Director for five years. Elected Pickaway County Prosecuting Attorney
in 1988 and served six years. I believe these two non-judicial positions
uniquely prepared me to be a judge. Through these two positions,
coupled with a general law practice for thirteen years, I believe I was
qualified to handle the demands of a general division common pleas
court judge presiding over hundreds of civil and criminal jury trials.
(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?
I love the daily challenges of being a judge. I believe I have the
experience and enthusiasm to contribute towards making Pickaway
County the best county in the state of Ohio in which to live and raise a
family. I have an veteran staff and domestic relations magistrate that
help me in dispensing justice to the citizens of Pickaway County. We
have worked together as a team and I believe we are prepared to
continue meeting the needs and challenges of this position.
