Prior to attending law school, I owned and operated a small business for 12 years. I have nearly 20 years’ experience as an attorney – both as a public prosecutor and in private practice handling transactional and civil litigation matters. My professional qualifications, conservative values and firsthand experience make me the right choice for Judge of the 28th District Court.
I am eager to bring my conservative principles and breadth of experience to the 28th District Court. I know I have the right experience and will be the right choice for the 28th District Court.- Fair and impartial judiciary
- Core conservative values
- Respect all who come before the Court
