Why did you decide to run for this office?

I have been a judge for a total of 14 years. I am running for re-election for the seat I currently hold. I began practicing law in Cabarrus County in 1989. While I enjoyed private practice, being a judge has been a rewarding experience which I am humbled and honored to do each day.

The priority every day is to do justice within the bounds of the law as provided in the United States and North Carolina Constitutions along with the corresponding statutes.

What experience/qualities make you a good choice for this office?

As stated above, I began practicing law in 1989 in Cabarrus County. I have 21 years of experience in private practice and am in my 14th year as a District Court Judge. During my private practice I became a certified mediator through the N.C. Dispute Resolution Commission.
