I feel my experiences throughout my life have prepared me to be the next Greene Superior Court Judge.  My work experiences, whether they be in the courtroom or jobs I had growing up, my family, and my involvement in the community have made me keenly aware of what it takes to be a successful judge who values the community they work in and respects its citizens.

I currently have a law office in Worthington, Indiana.  I work in the areas of criminal law, family law, children in need of services, property, small claims, and general law.  This has given me invaluable experiences in numerous areas.  Part of my practice entails being a Public Defender for Greene County and the Town Attorney for Worthington.  I believe in order to be a successful judge, you need to have experiences in many areas as a practicing attorney.  By remaining a practicing attorney, I have met with clients, managed a full caseload, and tried jury trials to completion. Last year alone I handled approximately 300 cases ranging in all types of law.  By handling this many cases, I am in court almost every day.  The combination of all of these diverse experiences has given me the necessary tools to be your next Judge. 

I feel my family has been a strong support system that has helped me to see several aspects of what a judge should be.  As stated above, I do criminal defense, but growing up, I saw first hand the other side of the law: the police side.  My father worked for the Jasonville Police Department for around 29 years.  During that time, I befriended and witnessed what the police officers go through in their jobs and lives to keep us safe and do their job effectively.  I believe these encounters to be indispensable in my experience in that I am able to better understand what the police are going through and take that into consideration in my daily deliberations if I am to be elected your next Judge.
