Statement
I went to law school because I wanted to help people. My practice is devoted to mediation and arbitration. Rather than advocate for a specific client, I am an advocate for amicable solutions. It takes a certain temperament and desire to help people through some of their worst times. This same temperament and desire to help is what I will bring as Superior Court judge.

Superior Court judge is non-partisan. I am independent. I will apply the law to the facts of each case, regardless of who appears before me. I have always tried to treat everyone with respect. I will bring that same attitude--treating everyone equally and with respect.

Superior Court cases are about people. Whether loss of liberty in a criminal case, breakup of a relationship in a family law matter, or loss of financial livelihood in a contractual dispute, all cases are about people. My mediation practice has sharpened my empathy and desire to help people through difficult times.

I have the experience, academic record, and temperament to serve Walla Walla County as a Superior Court judge. I will always work hard and strive to be fair. I pledge to be a judge for everyone.
