I was raised in a home built on service, hard work, and respect. My father, a United States Navy veteran of the Korean War, taught me integrity, discipline, and the importance of treating everyone with dignity. My mother worked at Ford Motor Company for 42 years and showed me the value of perseverance and commitment. Inspired by their example, I pursued a career in law and have served Genesee County as both a defense attorney and a prosecutor. Those experiences have given me a balanced perspective and guide my commitment to fairness, respect, and service to the community as I seek to serve as Judge.
