Question 1

List your judicial experience (courts and years)

Wayne County Municipal Court Magistrate 1994 to 2008

Wayne County Common Pleas Court Magistrate 2008 to 2010

Wayne County Common Pleas Court Judge, 2011 to present


Question 2

What non-judicial legal experience qualifies you to be a judge?

As an assistant prosecutor for 6 years I gained experience as a trial attorney in nearly 100 jury trials and probably over a thousand bench trials. This experience with procedural and evidentiary rules has been invaluable as a trial judge in Common Pleas Court.


Question 3

Why are you running for this particular court seat?

I have held this seat for the past twelve years and this will be my last term due to mandatory retirement because of my age at the end of this term. I would like to continue the work I have done for the past twelve years.
