(1) List your judicial experience (courts and years)
I have no prior judicial experience.
(2) What about your non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?
I am a local attorney and have been in practice for 30 years. My practice includes Juvenile defense, estates and guardianships. Over my lifetime I have been an Asst. Attorney General in Franklin County, past president of the Van Wert Chamber of Commerce and currently the head of the Van Wert Public Defender’s Office. Over the past 40 years I have actively coached and mentored children in and around Van Wert. My motto is “Families First for Van Wert”.
(3) Why are you running for this particular court seat?
There is no better position to assist in raising and leaving a lasting impression upon the children of Van Wert County than as Judge of the Van Wert County Juvenile Court. It is time for a change and based upon my experience I believe that I am truly the best candidate for this position.
