“I have been a volunteer firefighter for 30 years and it is that instinct to protect that inspires me to serve on the court. As a private practice attorney who has been Pennsylvania’s top drug prosecutor in the Attorney General’s Office and Deputy Chief Counsel in the Pennsylvania State Police, I know how to run a courtroom that displays common-sense and decorum. My knowledge and experience will be invaluable if I am given the opportunity to serve you as a judge.”
