Why I’m Running


I have dedicated my life to service—from the United States Marine Corps to serving as a prosecutor, representing clients as a defense attorney, and building a local law practice. Those experiences have shown me that our justice system works best when judges approach every case with integrity, professionalism, and impartiality.
