Statement: I was raised in Chelan County and I desire to use my extensive legal experience and abilities to serve our community in the capacity as a Superior Court Judge. My wife and I feel very fortunate to raise our three children here.

I have practiced law for over 19 years and regularly appear in Superior and District Courts in Chelan County and other counties throughout the State of Washington. My courtroom experience includes conducting jury trials as a prosecutor, defense attorney and civil attorney. I know and understand the rules of evidence and courtroom procedures.

My judicial endorsements include former Chelan County Superior Court Judges, John Bridges, TW "Chip" Small and Carol Wardell. I am also endorsed by former Chelan County prosecutor Gary Riesen and former Chelan County public defender Keith Howard.

I will make certain that individual rights provided by our State and Federal Constitutions are protected. The courtroom can be an intimidating place for those who enter as participants in our justice system. I will work diligently on behalf of the community I serve and I will treat all who enter the courtroom with respect and dignity.
